"Today we organized an activity together with Akseso. Throughout the entire month, various activities are being held as part of the campaign, spread across the neighborhoods of Bonaire. There is painting, drawing, and a poetry presentation," said Danique Verkerk, basic skills program coordinator at the Library.

On May 30, the closing event will take place in the form of a Makerspace Festival, at the Bonaire Public Library itself. Those interested can still sign up to participate in this month’s activities.
