CAH Public Library Reintroduces After-School Programme
Basseterre, St. Kitts – Thursday, September 12, 2024
New Programme for Primary School Students
Students will have the opportunity to maximize their reading skills as they participate in the reintroduction of the CAH Public Library after-school programme. The programme will begin on October 3 and will feature a Library hour to meaningfully engage students as part of its activities.
About the Programme
“The CAH Public Library after-school Library hour, which caters to primary school students, has been initiated to act as an interim for students who await their parents from work,” said Chief Librarian Ms. Petrine Clarke.
We realized that on Thursdays, school is dismissed at 2:30, but most parents finish work by 4:00 p.m. We invite the students to visit the library where they will be kept occupied. Some activities include homework assistance, art and craft, storytelling, and library skills. It is our aim to keep our students meaningfully occupied so they remain focused and not be free to roam and create mischief for themselves and their parents.
Amenities and Services
The staff at the library are keen and equipped to assist visitors with their after-school programme, homework and project assistance, while also having the availability of free computer and Wi-Fi usage.
Patrons will also have access to other services such as printing, photocopying, binding, and book repair for a small fee.
Additional Services
Ms. Clarke added that other individuals interested in improving their cognitive skills, receiving enlightenment for new ideas, and improving their vocabulary are invited to visit the library during the following hours:
Mondays to Thursdays: 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Fridays: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Saturdays: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
