The Thompson Family and The Gillian Thompson Foundation are very pleased to acknowledge a major donation by Southern Systems, a company based in the USA to the National Library. In memory of late Chief Librarian, Gillian Thompson and on this first Anniversary since her death, the Chief Executive Officer of Southern Systems, Mr. Karl Moore handed over 16 Computer Tablets to the Gillian Thompson Young Adult Collection, during a simple ceremony on December 23rd, at the National Library.
Mr. Moore had worked for nine years with Fox News in the USA, before launching his own Information Technology (IT) Company. He told the gathering that his business is to amplify digital education and the donation is a gift from the Fox News Digital Education Department.
According to the donor, a few of the Tablets may be shared with other branches of the National Library, including the Festival City location, which he identified as one of the contributory factors toward his own educational development having spent many hours studying there, when he was younger.
Deputy Chief Librarian of the National Library, Ms. Nadine Moore received the Tablets on behalf of the institution and expressed sincere gratitude for the donation. She also took the opportunity to extend Christmas Greetings on behalf of the Library. We also express thanks to Southern Systems for their generous donation.
The Gillian Thompson Foundation is now able to accept general donations via the Gillian Thompson Foundation website and we invite you to participate in this noble gesture. Please know that no amount is too small or too large and your backing and support are critical to our success. Kindly donate at . We truly appreciate your generosity.
