PRESS RELEASE: The Library and Information Service celebrates Library Week, a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers, from May 10-14, 2010.
The various libraries are celebrating Library Week with a number of activities, under the theme, Come! Explore and Discover.
The Roseau Public Library celebrates by holding a storytime hour for invited preschools on Monday and information skills training for primary and secondary schools on Tuesday, reaching out to the prison and hospital community on Wednesday, hosting a career fair on Thursday and interacting with the elderly on Friday.
The Documentation Centre celebrates by promoting the benefits of its services, and invites government officials to visit on Monday, while librarians from special libraries are invited on Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday, a school visit is planned, while Thursday is set aside for a gathering of informational professionals to discuss what is happening in the information field.
The Portsmouth Library celebrates by holding storytelling sessions, discussion on youth and the law, a history lecture and a spelling bee competition.
At Grand Bay, the Branch Library will celebrate by bringing community leaders to read to students of the primary schools in the area and discuss with them the importance of reading, by holding information skills training sessions with first form students of the Pierre Charles Secondary School and storytime sessions for preschoolers.
The Marigot Branch Library will celebrate by providing information skills training to students of schools in the area.
At our libraries, people come to do research with the assistance of a trained professional, to get help with homework, to access the Internet, to find materials free of charge for leisure time reading or for information for business or pleasure.
As we celebrate this week, we encourage you to come, explore and discover and take advantage of the resources available at your library, and as you do so, decide to support your library, for libraries are places of opportunity, education, self-help and lifelong learning.

Looks much better and more beautiful than the Roseau library. Get some money from the Enoch Pratt Library Foundation in America, Mr. PM and build a state-of-the-art library in Roseau, the capital of the OECS.
Stop showing your ignorance. The Roseau Library is a historical building and tremendous efforts have been made to preserve it. New is not always better.
