The U.S. Consulate General in Curacao donated an assortment of English language books, new and used, to the Philipsburg Jubilee Library January 6, 2011. The multi-interest books are an important addition to the library’s current English language book collection. The books are intended for all ages, but many are of special interest to young people.
Among the gifts are books related to sports, nature, U.S. government and subjects from Black History Month in the U.S. The United States Consulate General hopes this collection will contribute to a better understanding of the U.S. and its diverse culture.
Director Monique Alberts and Junior Librarian Maryland Powell accepted this gift from U.S. Vice-Consul Winifred Hofstetter.
