Inside a building built by volunteers!

The following is from the site, Elaine I. Sprauve Public Library and Museum of Cultural Arts, which needs to be updated and the titles updated. For example, are the Virgin Islands and Caribbean Collection held at the Elaine Ione Sprauve Public Library and Museum of Cultural Arts still there? Why isn't it being updated, weeded (as we say in library science), and more books added, Caribbean authors? The Children's Room can be named in honor of a local St. Johnian who has worked with children for more than 40 years! The computer room, downstairs, can also be named in honor of someone. WE NEED A Library Board of Trustees!
