    Most people will go on that boat for the fun and never even buy a book. We are not a reading public. I hope this changes. Young people are more into reading on TikTok and the internet than picking up a good book and reading. Realize how children just talk like robots. LOL, that’s because this is what is infused into them daily on their tablets. Using words like ‘Bruhhhhhhhh.’ If they stop and read a book from time to time, then perhaps they will become better communicators. But this is just my two cents.

    logos needs a catalog, how practical is it to search 5000 books in one or even 5 visits.
    post a catalog and allow me to pay with credit card. pickup can be on exit of the vessel so they still collect fees and i can still enjoy the activities of the vessel . This should boost logos revenue and also save most serious people time.

      If anything our children will have somewhere fun to go to. Clean fun. Sometimes parents struggle to find places take our children

    Unfortunately, you are wrong! Some may not, but there are still families that encourage reading and are willing to invest in books!

    It’s monday july 14 not November 14
    I wish I could go. I am afraid of crowds. Too many people in one place and too many books in one place is overwhelming for me
    I wish everyone a great time throughout the region

    Hopefully by the time they reach here they still have books. Cause I hear Dominicans steal books left right and center

    Please people take advantage of this. Buy a book or two for the children , friend or loved ones. Or just enjoy the delicious ice cream and other foods available.

    Antiguans are not a reading people, all they care about is Carnival and free turkeys and hams. That’s what they are raising kids to care about. So sad….
