National Library of Guyana

National Library of Guyana Branches are situated in towns.

The National Library service operates through a number of service points – the Central Library in Georgetown, Branches, Centres, bookmobile service, Deposit Collection and service to the prisons. The Central Library is the library for Georgetown and is also the administrative headquarters and as such is the policy making body, co-ordinates, monitors and evaluates the entire service. Rural areas ar

e served by centres which operate on a part time basis and are manned by local library assistants, and the bookmobile service serves sparsely populated areas. A deposit collection is given to a community which is not large enough to support a library centre, or sometimes in special cases it is used to supplement the collection in a small existing library.

The National Library of Guyana was pleased to welcome Dr. Julia Theresa Kanhai at our Georgetown location.

During her visit, Dr. Kanhai generously donated copies of the Salah Series, along with Ten Little Hermit Crabs and Pipkin the Squirrel’s 5-4-3-2-1, written by 9-year-old British author George Dower.

Dr. Kanhai also engaged staff in meaningful discussions on ways she can support the Library’s writing initiatives. She expressed heartfelt appreciation for the institution that helped nurture her love for reading during her childhood.

We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Kanhai for her continued support and contribution to literacy development.
