The City of Cape Town’s Library and Information Services Department will once again offer a number of activities at selected libraries during the September school holidays.
Many of the activities will focus on arts and crafts and storytelling centred on Heritage Day and Arbor month. The programme will also include games, reading events, DVD shows, face-painting, chess competitions and informative talks.
A full list and details of the holiday programme can be found on the Library and Information Services Department’s website.
Public libraries will be presenting these programmes in collaboration with the South African Police Services, Blue Ribbon, Nalibali, Help2Read and the Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department, among others.
The City has 100 libraries, three satellite libraries and a mobile library service, that do not only lend books to residents, but also provide access to electronic resources, magazines and journals, information-retrieval skills, lifelong learning and storytelling.
In addition, City libraries function as cultural hubs and venues for community activities and events. For more information, contact your local library.
