Library week will be celebrated during the week of March 14 to 21 under the theme #libraries4lifelonglearning.
“The Library Week takes place during the Human Rights month because access to information is a basic human right.
It is important that public use libraries at their disposal because libraries occupy an important place in a community, especially now at the digital age”, says MEC for Arts, Culture and Recreation in Gauteng Faith Mazibuko.
South African Library Week was initiated in 2001 by Library and Information Association of South Africa (LIASA) with the aim of bringing the services offered by libraries to the attention of communities.
MEC and other dignitaries will be in attendance.
It begins from 9am.
