Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited (GCBL) was a proud sponsor of the 2025 Grenada Book Festival held on 3–4 October. The festival, organised by Grenada Book Festival, Inc., brought together writers, authors, artisans and book lovers of all ages to celebrate Grenadian stories.
“Co-op Bank is committed to supporting initiatives that nurture creative expression,” explained Ericka Hosten, Manager Marketing and Customer Insight. “This book festival introduced a platform to showcase Grenadian books, while also encouraging reading and literacy. The literary arts play an integral role in promoting and preserving our nation’s rich cultural heritage, and as Grenada’s only indigenous bank, we were proud to be a festival sponsor and contribute to the success of this important literary event.”
This year’s Grenada Book Festival featured 2 main events: a professional development workshop that brought together writers at various stages of their careers to learn about the traditional publishing industry, and a book fair featuring more than thirty local authors and artisans. In addition to the author and artisan showcase, the book fair’s Children’s Corner was a popular attraction, providing a space for children to explore their creativity, and the reading area, with children’s story hours and poetry readings that captivated the audiences, both young and old.
Co-op Bank’s sponsorship of the 2025 Grenada Book Festival aligns with the bank’s corporate social responsibility agenda to support projects and programmes that contribute to the nation’s holistic development.
