City libraries will celebrate the annual SA Library Week from Monday March 14 to Monday March 21 with the theme #libraries4lifelonglearning.
“Libraries are places where all residents have equitable access to quality information and can receive advice about learning opportunities. They are foundational in achieving the vision of an informed nation.
‘The concept of lifelong learning is one embodied in all City libraries.
They provide our patrons with learning resources in various formats, foster a spirit of curiosity, contribute towards the development of society, and empower people for prosperity,” said Mayco member for community services and special projects, Belinda Walker.
Patrons are reminded that while all long overdue library materials can be returned during this week with no fines charged for them, previous fines will not be written off during this week.
