Dominica Library and Information Service to Observe Library Week 2026

The Dominica Library and Information Service will observe Library Week 2026 from May 18th to May 23rd, 2026, under the theme: “Empowering Communities through Knowledge, Culture and Innovation.”

Library Week is an annual observance aimed at highlighting the important role libraries play in education, literacy, cultural preservation and community development. This year’s activities will focus on promoting reading, lifelong learning, creativity and greater public appreciation for library services throughout Dominica.

A number of activities are planned for the week and are expected to engage students, educators and members of the wider public. Activities will be hosted by the National Archives Unit, the Documentation Centre, the Roseau Public Library and library branches in Marigot, Portsmouth and Grand Bay. Through these activities, the Dominica Library and Information Service hopes to encourage individuals of all ages to make greater use of libraries as spaces for learning, research, innovation and personal growth.

The Dominica Library and Information Service invites the public to participate in the week’s activities and join in celebrating the important contribution libraries make to society.
