The feature photograph above is the public library in George Town, Exuma. The library closed during the coronavirus restrictions, and was repainted and refurbished at the end of 2020 in readiness for the formal reopening in January 2021. The library is run by volunteers from local, expatriate and cruising community for the benefit of everyone in George Town.
