Celebrate Library Week - 6th - 11th May, 2024, with the National Public Library, Archives and Documentation Services (NPLADS) under the theme: 'Ready, Set, Library!'

'Ready, Set, Library!' highlights the role of Libraries as partners in every stage of your journey; from start all the way to the finish line, as well as providing an inclusive and supportive community where everyone belongs.

During the week, the NPLADS will be hosting a variety of engaging activities beginning on Monday, 6th May, with a tour & demonstration of the Digitization Unit and relaunch of the Microfilm Reader Service found at the National Archives.

The Calliaqua, Colonaire, Georgetown, Layou, Rose Hall, and South Rivers branch libraries will come alive with preschoolers on Tuesday, 7th May, as they host “Storytelling with Preschoolers,” while services of the library will be promoted at the Central Leeward Secondary School.
