As part of the 170th anniversary celebration of the purchase of Plaisance by freed slaves, the Eddy Grant Resource Centre, housing the community’s first library was launched yesterday in the bottom flat of the Plaisance/Sparendaam Friendly Society Hall.
The commissioning of the $5 million resource centre is part of the list of activities planned for the next two months by the Plaisance/Sparendaam and Goedverwagting Development Association to mark the milestone of the village. The centre comprises a library, office, living quarters, storeroom and washroom facilities and has created employment for two young women who will serve as librarians.
Residents of the community will benefit from the free use
