Tunapuna Library joins in back to school initiative

Although this is the second year that MP Forde, in collaboration with Mohammed’s Book Store facilitated this school books and stationery distribution initiative, it is the first year that NALIS has joined in the effort to ensure that each child not only has books and stationery but also access to a lifetime of information and resources with their very own library card.

Kamella Carmino, Librarian III, North Region, in her brief address to an audience including parents, children, sponsors, and community members, highlighted the importance of libraries in building communities.

In her talk she mentioned that libraries provide people with content to enable them to be more creative and thereby make significant contributions to their communities. Carmino also had the pleasure of inducting the children into the library system by presenting them with library cards.
