nchanting evening with Cynthia McLeod at the library
Tuesday, May 13, more than 80 persons showed up for at the library for an enchanting evening with Surinamese writer and historian Cynthia McLeod, organized by  the Philipsburg Jubilee Library and the Ark foundation. Mrs. Cynthia held the audience captive with her intriguing and often humoristic anecdotes from different periods in Suriname’s history.  Cynthia McLeod’s most popular book 'Hoe duur was de suiker?’ was recently translated into English under the title ‘The cost of sugar’. This book as well as Mrs. McLeod’s other works like
'Tweemaal Mariënburg', '.. die revolutie niet inbegrepen' and 'De vrije negerin Elisabeth Gevangene van kleur' are available at your library. Come and have a look at the small Cynthia McLeod exhibition in the library.
