Senior Librarian: Groenheuwel Library- PAARL
Pages
Welcome to the Social Librarian's Blog!
Hi I am Mercia Sias(Snr Librarian) at Groenheuwel Library. Groenheuwel is the smallest Library in Drakenstein Municipality, with so much potential.
Currently the Library only have one table for our Readers to sit and read newspapers or to do school projects. Our space is very limited with a membership of 2500 readers we will turn this Library into the most ideal place to be! With a qualified Librarian and Professional staff we just give our best to improve our services and empower our people in the community
Looking back from our first post in 2010 and where we are today reflects the dedication of the staff and the community of Groenheuwel. Here we are today growing from strength to strength! The Library is hosted in a modular building 6 times bigger than the original space that we had. The library have a small activity hall where lots of activities and workshops take place. We have a membership total of more than 7000 members.
Groenheuwel Library are partnering with VPUU and different other stakeholders to execute most community projects. We believe that strong partnership and collaborative projects will have a huge impact in our communities and will address the objectives most effectively, such as the reduction of crime, alleviation of poverty, elimination of illiteracy and the prevalent inequalities within our community.
