Local Cayman Islands author donates book to library

Wedding planner Jo Anne Brown donated a signed copy of her newly published coffee table book Caribbean Wedding Style to George Town Library on Wednesday (8 June).

Ms Brown gifted the hardback book to the library during a quick visit prior to the official publication launch party at Celebrations in Camana Bay later that evening.

The book will be part of the library’s permanent collection of work by local authors which is being put together at the moment.

Known as the Cayman Islands Collection, this will include cultural and historical material, and will be housed in the historical library section of the building currently being renovated.

Director of Cayman Islands Public Library Service Ramona Melody and Deputy Director Paul Robinson accepted the book from Ms Brown.

“We are delighted to have been given a copy of Caribbean Wedding Style by Jo Anne Brown,” said Ms Melody. “We hope to feature many more authors and have their work on our shelves permanently, as we have lots of books to be proud of in the Cayman Islands.”
