In 2009 the National Library of Jamaica turned the spotlight on itself as it celebrated its 30th anniversary. One of the highlights of the anniversary year was the development and launch of the 30th anniversary commemorative publication - The National Library of Jamaica Living History, Shaping Lives-1979-2009. This publication is major achievement for the NLJ and we seek to share it with by highlighting a few pages.
