A $2 million reading centre will soon be established in East Canje, Berbice, as part of an initiative by private citizens to improve literacy in the area.

According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) report, the centre will be located at Lot 34 Canefield Village. It is the first of its kind for the area and aims to afford residents the opportunity to improve their reading and vocabulary skills

Infrastructural works on the centre are expected to be completed by January month-end and its doors opened to citizens sometime in early February, the DPI report added.
