Logos Hope book fair caters to thousands of Dominicans

(DNO) Logos Hope, the world’s largest floating book fair, will spend its final two days in Dominica.

Logos Hope will depart from Dominica on Monday, May 31, 2010, heading for a new region, West Africa, after visiting about 14 Caribbean countries on her maiden voyage.

“With around 20,000 people having visited already, it is hoped that many more will come and discover this unique ship and its community for themselves over the weekend. The crew and staff wish to express their thanks to the community of Dominica for their interest and support during this time,” one crew member told a small ceremony on board the ship Tuesday.

“A visit to Logos Hope gives an opportunity to browse and purchase from over 7,500 titles of books and CDs in the book fair. The newly installed Journey of Life exhibit, which invites visitors to consider the choices we all face along life’s journey, is also now open to be experienced. From there visitors can enjoy the International Café which is serving locally produced refreshments in a comfortable, relaxed environment where the international crew and staff look forward to meeting visitors,” the representative said.

A free ‘Thank-you Dominica’ event is expected to be held on Sunday evening on board the ship beginning at 6 p.m.

“It was truly a memorable and exciting time in the Caribbean and it will be missed.  It will take a long time for Logos Hope to be back in the Caribbean, as she is now the only ship owned by the organization sailing the world,” the representative added.

The all-volunteer crew and staff comprise of around 400 people, representing over 45 different nations, who offer a unique example of unity in cultural diversity.
