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.
