GCS set to launch library and art gallery initiatives

Gibraltar Cultural Services will be launching several initiatives in relation to the public library and art galleries on behalf of the Ministry of Culture.

The aim is to promote the love of reading and books, and the work of Gibraltar’s artists and art galleries.

The Book Club for children returns to the John Mackintosh Hall Library on Wednesdays at 5pm, as from September 29.

This is aimed at young people aged between 8-12 and will encourage reading and promote the love of literature.

Storytelling for the younger ones will restart at the library on September 14, led by a group of committed volunteers.

Sessions will run on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30pm with morning sessions on Thursday mornings at 10:30am.

Anyone interested in being a volunteer, please contact the Development Unit to find out more on 20049161 or development@culture.gov.gi
