Libraries across the metro will celebrate South African Library Week during March.
From March 11 to 19, libraries are inviting all their patrons who have overdue library material to return it at no cost.
“The mantra for Fine Free Week is ‘no questions, no fines’ and thus, library users are encouraged to return all the overdue resources they have borrowed, in order to allow others to benefit from them,” said Ekurhuleni spokesman Themba Gadebe.
The theme for this year’s library week is “Libraries for life-long learning”.
It frames the substantial contribution of libraries to the efforts that strive to address our country’s educational, social, cultural and recreational needs and prevalent inequalities.
It provides insight into the role of libraries in South Africa, by ensuring equitable access to quality information and to social advancement opportunities, which makes libraries essential in realising the vision of an informed nation.
