Taking it back to its former glory
Internal restoration works are being carried out at the national library, following the extensive external restoration works carried out in the past years.
The works, which include the restoration of a number of rooms, bookshelves, stair walls and columns, were today visited by Resources Minister George Pullicino.
Other buildings being restored in Valletta include the Auberge de Castille, the Grand Master's Palace and St John's CoCathedral.

Well done for such a good project. First it was the facade, then the portiko now works inside. Keep it up

That's all very well and most welcome but what about the raison d'etre? Will the heritage books tomes and other valuable books be restored to?

Restoration of old books and documents is an ongoing process at the National Library.

Mr Storace, Lions Sliema have a very good project where you can donate a small sum, enough to cover the expenses for the restoration of a book, and they will put a label on the inside of a book stating that you paid for its restoration. We made one recently in the name of a realtive (as a birthday present) who liked a particular genre of books so that his name is now there for posterity -or at least until the book falls apart again.
