GOODHEART: 'My Free Likkle Bookhut' offers free books to encourage reading
Dec 7th, 2024 | Category: GOODHEART | 10:00#JamaicaGleaner #GoodHeart #Books #DubWise DECEMBER 7, 2024: In an era where physical books are phasing out, Shanique Sinclair, literacy advocate and brainchild of the Book Fairy Festival, is on a mission to keep physical books alive and free for grabs in Jamaica. Her passion is so strong that, in recognition of her birthday in August, she opened the ‘My Free Likkle Bookhut’ at Dubwise Cafe in St Andrew. She hopes to build on her dream of seeing more readers across the island, leaving books for others to choose from and, hopefully, returning to find new ones.
