The training included a generous donation of LEGO resources, enhancing the candidates’ capacity to engage young learners.
“The training equips librarians to transfer their new-found skills to benefit ECD centres and primary school learners.
“By incorporating LEGO into their programmes, our libraries can create engaging and interactive learning experiences, making education more accessible and enjoyable,” said the city’s spokesperson, Zweli Dlamini.
The collaboration between Care for Education and the CoE’s libraries represents a significant advancement in the educational landscape.
By harnessing the power of play, librarians will positively impact children’s learning journeys across the city.
