Libraries in The Cayman islands

The public library service in the Cayman Islands is provided by the Government. There are public libraries in each of the five districts of Grand Cayman, as well as in Cayman Brac.

There is no public library in Little Cayman. A tremendous amount of damage was done to Grand Cayman’s libraries by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. Over 10,000 books were ruined by the storm. However, the Government used the opportunity to embark on a program of redevelopment and improvement for the library service.
