Barbados joined the rest of the world on Tuesday to celebrate World Book Day, a day set aside by UNESCO to promote the enjoyment of books and reading in all forms.
This year’s theme, Read Your Way, recognised reading in all forms and encouraged all persons to embrace the diversity and scope of reading resources, focusing on the love for reading regardless of format or genre.
At a ceremony held at the Erdiston Teachers’ Training College, Chairman of the National Task Force on Literacy Education Dr Sylvia Henry accepted a gift of over 100 books from the Rotary Club of Barbados West President, Gail Reeves. The books will be integral in several organised community literacy activities by the Literacy Task Force. Dr Astra Babb of Babb’s Reading Clinic also made a presentation of her latest publication, Misplaced Desires.
As a further part of the Rotary Club’s outreach, Reeves presented a cheque to Principal of the Erdiston Teachers’ Training College Dr Colin Cumberbatch to boost the sign language literacy course at the College.
