It was way back in 1997 when the Library and Information Association of South Africa (LISA), decided to start an initiative to celebrate the culture of reading and promote the importance of community libraries.
Library Week, now in it’s 14th year, will be celebrated in South Africa from 19-26 March 2011.
The theme this year is ‘Read in Your Language @ Your Library’.
LISA, as an organisation, has taken upon itself the responsibility in bringing library and information services to the public at large in a big way.
The KwaDukuza Library has kicked off the celebration by visiting Dawnview Primary School only yesterday. Today they are visiting the Melville school with a ‘Story Time’ event taking place at Stanger Pre-Primary tomorrow.
Friday sees free blood sugar and pressure testing at Alberlito Hospital. Monday the library will host a beauty clinic with Tuesday capping off the celebration with a ‘Housewives Share-a-Story’.
Visit the KwaDukuza Library and the Stanger Manor Library to be a part of the festival.
