As part of the Library Week programme, the initiative also coincided with the celebration of Dr A.B. Xuma Month, marking the birth month of this distinguished South African leader. The celebration served as an opportunity not only to honour his legacy but also to inspire learners to value education and knowledge.
During the activities, learners were encouraged to develop a strong reading culture and to recognise the importance of books in shaping their academic and personal growth. Educators and library officials emphasised that education is the key to success, and that reading plays a vital role in expanding learners’ knowledge, critical thinking, and creativity.
Through interactive activities such as reading, spelling Bee competitions, coding and robotics sessions and word-building games, learners were motivated to actively engage with learning resources available at the library. These initiatives aimed to promote literacy, innovation, and a lifelong love for reading among young learners.
The programme highlighted the importance of libraries as centres of knowledge, learning, and community development, while also reminding learners that dedication to education can open doors to many opportunities in the future
