In celebration of the National Library Service’s 175th anniversary, the Holetown Branch Library has created a time capsule.During a ceremony on Wednesday to mark the storage of the capsule at the Holetown, St James branch, Acting Director of the Library Service Jennifer Yarde said staff at all the libraries were given the opportunity to highlight and promote their respective branches with an activity of their choice.She said the supervisor of the Holetown Branch, Adrian Archer, saw it fit to store for posterity the memories of that branch library.“Every library tells its own unique story. These stories awaken not only an appreciation of the past but also the realisation that what happens today is tomorrow’s history.“The Holetown Branch Library has a rich history, some of which has never been heard of because it was never documented. This time capsule will store some of these stories and memories for future generations,” Yarde explained.She said the Holetown Branch Library, which continues to play an important role in promoting culture, literacy and lifelong learning, was officially opened on February 27, 1756, and served the St James and St Thomas communities over the past 66 years.
