The Commissioner’s Report for 1949 states that a Public Library was established on Ragged Island in 1940. The librarian in 1949 was Ms Hazel Wallace.
The Commissioner reports in 1961 that the library was located in a private room that was rented by the government. It was open to the public 4-6 pm Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
At present there is no library on Ragged Island.
The National Reading Challenge wishes to make this year’s Challenge 2022-2023 the best ever. Since the country is opening up more and more in spite of the global pandemic, and because the libraries are providing indoor services, we want to encourage participants of the National Reading Challenge Competition to not only utilize the online reading of e-books but also the book loans of their favorite books according to their age, interests and reading abilities and levels at the library near their homes.
All Public Libraries are now opened to the public from 9a.m – 5p.m. Eastern Public Library is temporarily closed until further notice. Covid Restrictions are to be adhered to. Click to be part of the National Reading Challenge now
