 National Library Week is observed annually in the first week of April and celebrates the contributions of libraries and library workers in St. Lucia. The yearly observance, which ultimately seeks to promote library use and support, had its official opening ceremony at the Central Library in Castries, in collaboration with the Hunter J. Faswa Library at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, under the theme, Connect with Your Library. Acting Director of Library Services, Sally Rosemond, attempted to demystify the view that the traditional library is a thing of the past, stating that modern libraries were designed to build on traditional foundations by embracing technology. Libraries and the role librarians play in the dissemination of information to our society as libraries are known to connect with the communities in which they serve, establishing great bonds. As we re-establish visibility in a world where the advent of technology has obliterated the traditional library, let me inform you, the modern library is designed to embrace technology. A special tribute was made to the late Hunter J. Faswa, who served as St. Lucia's first education minister from 1964 to 1974, and was very instrumental in the establishment of the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. The Hunter J. Faswa Library at the College is named in his honor. His family was present to receive a token of appreciation for his contribution to education and the arts on the island. On behalf of the board, management and staff, students also of the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, I'd like to call on Mrs. Deanna Clark, who will receive a token of recognition and appreciation from us in recognition of Mr. Hunter J. Faswa's sterling contribution to tertiary education in St. Lucia, and also to recognize his work and his contribution in setting the foundation for what we now have as the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. Earlier this year, as part of the Nobel Laureate Festival 2022, the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College officially unveiled the Derrick Walcott Library, which is home to the personal literature collection of the Nobel Laureate. The Hunter J. Faswa Library is tasked with managing the literary gift and is actively working on processing and digitizing aspects of the collection to provide remote access to its Nobel Laureate digital database. There are several activities planned for the observance of National Library Week 2022 and persons are encouraged to visit your nearest library to engage and make use of the resources that are available.
