Scholarships:
Each year since the early 1990's we have given scholarships to worthy students in Vava'u. This year we were able to assist 6 students from 3 different schools. There were three winners from Vava'u High School, one from Saineha High School, and 2 from USP (University of the South Pacific). We will be having a special Award Ceremony for these students later in the month with a representative of the Governor present as guest of honour.
Fun Day in May
Every year the Vava'u Public Library holds a “Fun Day” for children of all ages in Vava'u. This year the event will be held on 29 May, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the parking lot behind the Library. There will be many fun booths of games and activities which will include face painting, a fish tank, a sponge throw, and ring toss among others.
In addition there will be a second-hand stall. Anyone wishing to contribute to this booth should contact Le'o on 70-955 or Don 70545.
Special Projects
In order to keep the Library moving forward we choose a special project each year and carry it out. This year we have two projects.
1)
We are planning to repaint the inside and outside of the Library. This will be a big job and will take volunteers to work and/or donate paint and paint brushes.
2)
One of our Peace Corp members, Carolyn, is organizing the painting of a mural depicting the world and its peoples.
These two projects will help beautify the building so that users and passer-by's will appreciate the grounds and the inside rooms of our Library.
