National Library holds inaugural Easter parade
Dozens of children took part in an Easter parade organized by the National Library last Saturday, under the theme; Rising to Great Heights through Reading.
The parade in full swing on Church Street
Decked in colourful costumes, the children walked through the streets of downtown Georgetown accompanied by live steelpan music.
Chief Librarian, Gillian Thompson, said that the library was pleased with the level of participation in this, the first event of its kind held by the Central Library.
“Based on the positive response from parents and children, the library plans to make this an annual activity. We would like to thank all those who came out and helped to make the parade a fun-filled event. We look forward to having an even bigger parade next year,” she said.
The National Library has embarked on a number of activities recently, geared towards expanding membership and promoting literacy across Guyana.
