Philipsburg:---The St. Maarten Lions Club donated five computers to the Philipsburg Jubilee Library to support the organization's efforts to upgrade its computer network system, in particular the internet café currently located in the reading room. Director, Mrs. Monique Alberts accepted the generous donation on behalf of the Philipsburg Jubilee Library. President of the St. Maarten's Lion Club stated: "This Lionistic Year's focus is on "Empowering the Youth". As such, the club's board found it fitting to make this donation to help guarantee that our youths are empowered through the acquisition of knowledge. Today, computers play a vital role in retrieving and storing of valuable information. We hope that through our contribution we inspire more young people and adults alike, who currently have no access to a home computer, to visit the library and make use of the internet and other educational materials."
