BOATERS FOR BOOKS GRENADA

Boaters for Books has provided Grenada with several thousand children’s books, now circulating among the primary schools in Grenada. Director of Library Services Lillian Sylvester has been instrumental in the success of this program. In the summer of 2002, a devastating fire swept the waterfront in St. Georges, burning a number of historic buildings. Thanks to the heroic efforts of firemen, the National Library was saved, but not without a great deal of water damage. Many books were damaged and all the computers were lost. Now more than ever Grenada needs our help.
