Elizabeth Bedeau, Librarian and Assistant to the Curator with administrative responsibilities, is a retired school teacher and librarian from the Harvey Vale School. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. Because of Ms. Bedeau, our collection of reading materials has been organized and our library is now open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 4:00 PM for students, CHS & M members, and visitors. Books have been catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal System and organized in labelled sections. Books about the history and culture of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are located in a special section. Ms. Bedeau utilizes the library's donated computer. She looks forward to a special glass cabinet to hold books on reserve; air conditioning for temperature control which is so important for library preservation; and improved lighting.
