Dec 24, 2014 News

Chief Executive Officer of Southern Systems, Karl Moore, yesterday handed over 16 tablet computers to the Young Adult Section of the National Library, during a simple ceremony at the Church Street location.

Southern Systems CEO Karl Moore (centre) hands over one of the tablet computers to Deputy Head of the Library, Nadine Moore, in the presence of other library staffers.

The section of the Library which benefited from the donation was recently renamed the Gillian Thompson Collection in memory of the late Chief Librarian, who passed away earlier this year following an accident.
Moore, who worked for nine years with Fox News, before launching his own Information Technology (IT) Company, told the gathering, which included Deputy Head of the Library, Nadine Moore, that they are contracted to amplify education and the gift is a gesture from the Fox News Digital Education Department.
According to the donor, the tablets are not only for the use at the main branch of the National Library, but will be distributed to the other branches, including the Festival City location.
He reflected on the computers as being one of the contributory factors that aided in his development, having spent many hours studying there when he was younger. Moore said four of the sixteen will be donated to that branch.
Ms. Nadine Moore received the tablets on behalf of the institution and expressed sincere gratitude to the CEO and his company, while also taking the opportunity to extend Christmas greetings to him and his family.
