In Gibraltar, we are supporting the Bayside and Westside school library with a grant of just over £30,000. The money will be used to purchase furniture, shelving, books and materials for use by children aged 11-18 from a wide range of social, religious, ethnic and economic backgrounds. Old and damaged books will be replaced, while new releases will be purchase, series completed, and multiple copies of popular titles will be provided.
This one-off investment will improve the library’s experience, offering and encourage more young people to discover the educational benefits and enjoyment that reading can bring.
