About The Sir Charles Hayward Library - Aug 16, 2006 - 10:18:48 PM
Situated in the downtown area, on
Mall Drive, the lending library is most definitely a Pillar of the Community. The Sir Charles Library stands next to the
Rand hospital directly across from the Port Authority building. With its humble beginnings back in the early 1960s, the library began out of the
Savoy building, in a small room lent by the Grand Bahama Port Authority, and was only open for three half-days a week. Books were solicited from the
UK via newspaper ads and donations were shipped in or left behind by visitors.
