Everyone is invited to visit NALIS’ Port of Spain Adult Library to view "Guyana @ 60", an exhibition mounted by the Consulate General of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana to mark that country's 60th Independence Anniversary. Guyana gained its independence on May 26, 1966. The exhibition mounted from 19 - 29, can be viewed during the library's opening hours.

On May 25, Vonetta Victor, Consul General (Ag) of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana was on hand to welcome students who visited the exhibition which features information boards, books and products of Guyana. She engaged the Standard Four students in conversations about the relationship between Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, and highlighted historical facts about her country and its famous nationals.

As a fellow CARICOM nation, Guyana shares many historical and cultural connections with Trinidad and Tobago - from our colonial experiences and multicultural traditions to our enduring Caribbean spirit and regional partnerships.

The public can explore the rich display that highlights Guyana's journey, achievements and contributions to the Caribbean community.  Persons desiring to learn more about Guyana as well as other Caribbean neighbours can visit NALIS’ Heritage Library Division, located on the second floor of the National Library Building.
