Story Time on the Environment this Saturday at the Library

Every Saturday, the library conducts story time sessions for visiting children. Both Joseanne Peterson and Lysandra William are the coordinators for the Saturday story times sessions and have been volunteering their time for this project since January.

Storyteller and writer, Don Jones, a visitor to the island, will be reading from his children’s books consisting of three short stories called “The Adventure of the Wizard & His Friends”. “My wife, Jane and I have been coming to St. Maarten for 10 years and asked our friend, Richard, where we could do a reading for local children. We sent an e-mail to the library and it went from there. It is our goal in life to give back as much as we can and help the children understand the effects of global warming and other destructive habits of the human race”, remarked Jones.

This Saturday’s story will show how the Wizards and his friends are faced with some of the problems facing the environment and what needs to be done to save it.

The next story time session will be in May. Photo Caption: (L-R) Jane and Don Jones meet with story time coordinator Joseanne Peterson and also present a free copy of their book to Library Director, Monique Alberts (PJL Photo)
