Dear Reader One announces their opening next month and the other announces their imminent closure this month. We are referring to the Rainforest Adventures Rockland Estate eco-park and the St. Maarten Zoo park. We will not only use this email newsletter service to bring you news, views, reviews and interviews, but also to create awareness for certain situations as that is also one of the key guiding principles in our editorial policy. Yesterday, we opened up our newsletter with the news about the Philipsburg Jubilee Library (PJL) needing a new building due to the extensive hurricane damage. We are happy to announce that this news has been picked up by the ALA, the American Library Association. The American Library Association is raising funds for libraries in the Caribbean and the PJL has been designated as one of the recipients as PJL-director, Monique Alberts, is also an ALA member. We received an email from ALA-director, Michael Dowling, informing us that "ALA will be taking in donations to help the many libraries in the Caribbean that were destroyed and heavily damaged by Hurricane Irma. Libraries such as the Philipsburg Jubilee Public on St. Martin has been damaged beyond repair and will need to be rebuilt." Click here to read more online about the ALA's donation drive... Hopefully, the news about the imminent closure of the St. Maarten Zoo can have such an outcome as well. In any event, the idea is to turn the premises into an opening park once the hurricane clean-up activities are completed. Click here to read more online... Another activity we would like to bring attention to is the NIA and ASL's post-hurricane Irma relief arts program for children ages 3 to 16. Click here to read about this initiative. We encourage you, our readers, to email us your opinions, articles, letters, newsworthy reports and photos of any events taking place that we can consider as breaking news. Citizen journalism is a concept we highly advocate and you can use our Facebook page to also share photos and news with us.
