Overview


The St. Catherine Parish Library had its early beginning in July 1947, when Spanish Town Citizen Association met, with Mr. Hugh Paget, then British Council Representative in Jamaica, and discussed the formation of a library in Spanish Town. Central Government was approached for accommodation and two of the rooms now occupied by the library were made available for the purpose. A small committee was in charge who worked towards raising funds and obtaining furniture for the library. Central Government and then Parochial Board each contributed One hundred ($100) dollars and many citizens, public offices, and leading business firms gave donations of books, cash, and furniture.  READ MORE…
