Ignacia Cacho Public Library

Dangriga is privileged to have two libraries after the first library had been housed in the Town Hall for over forty years. Library service in Dangriga dates as far back as the late 1950s when a library was housed in a building where the HelpAge building is presently located. That building was destroyed in the 1961 Hurricane Hattie, after which the library was housed in the Town Hall at its northern end.

As development occurred the space became inadequate, so when Mr. Cornelius Cacho donated land for a library to the Dangriga Town Board in 1987 this was quite timely. Negotiations to acquire funding began and all the efforts came to reality on July 31, 2003, when the spacious one flat library building was inaugurated.
