The National Public Library of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is celebrating International Library Week from today April 9 Wednesday April 11, 2018 under the theme, “Libraries Lead: a stepping stone to success.”
Among the activities planned are a Book Amnesty and Grand Book Sale that runs until April 13; a Reference Library Exhibition and Display today April 9; book reading sessions at Thompson and Garden of Eden Homes for the elderly tomorrow April 10; Story-time for various pre-schools throughout the day on April 11 and Movie afternoon for Children with complimentary snacks on the afternoon of April 11.
According to Director of Libraries, Michelle King Campbell, the objectives of the National Library Week are to increase awareness and support for the National Public Library Archives and Documentation Services by increasing our visibility in a positive context and by communicating why the National Library is unique and valuable.
It also aims to update the image of libraries, librarians and all library staff for the 21st century, sustaining and strengthening their relevance; bring renewed energy to the promotion of the libraries and the librarians; and bring library messages to a more diverse audience.
