COROZAL PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Corozal Public Library offers many opportunities and activities for the entire community! A wide variety of books are available for lending, and there are many reference books that provide essential information. A limited selection of used books are for sale also. Our librarians have access to many books, files, and online resources about Belizian history and are happy to share this access with the community. The library offers an afterschool Homework Help session, Monday through Thursday, beginning at four o'clock. This is a great opportunity for children and young teens to work together and with experienced librarians on their school work and to have access to many informational books! In addition to the Homework Help sessions, the library offers free children's yoga classes every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. This is open to children ages 7 to 11. A free adult's yoga classes will begin in early 2011.

In the library, printing and photocopying opportunities are available, for $0.25 to $0.50 per page. Glue sticks and fomis are also available for sale. The sales are for fundraising for the library. The profit is used to run activities, to purchase library necessities, and to keep the library running smoothly.

Omar Williams

On Thursday, December 23, 2010 Omar Williams of Corozal, who works in and has been part of the Consejo Shores Community for many years was critically inured in a serious accident while clearing the lot next to Lorenzo's house, on the corner in Consejo Shores. His pant leg got caught in the PTO of a Bushhog, and he sustained extensive injuries. The community came together and helped to stabilize Omar's wounds and keep his vitals stable until a Doctor (Doctor John Temte from Casa Blanca who luckily was here for the holidays) arrived. They kept him calm and stable until the ambulance finally arrived.

Many, thanks go out to all who participated in saving Omar's life, Dr. John, Tony, Nancy, Darrin, Marlene, Bob, Bev, John, Jim, Lorenzo, Vance, Fred and Tom and others who pulled together to help Omar during this crisis.

Omar made it through surgery but unfortunately did lose his leg. He is stable and doing okay, but will have a long recovery. They took him to Belize Medical Associates Hospital in Belize City so there will be medical costs as well as a prosthesis cost to be covered.

I hope that as a community we can all come together to help them in any needs they may have related to this horrific accident. A fund has been established that anyone can contribute to, to help with the medical costs.

If you would like to help Omar and his family defray the medical costs of his horrific accident, you can make a donation to their account at Atlantic Bank. Please make it to Eleanor Williams, Account number 200633022.

I hope that we can all come together to help Omar and Eleanor since they have been part of our community in many ways for many years.
