MARITZBURG COLLEGE
The library’s 2013 Outreach Programme was launched with a donation to Gateway Christian School, of books, withdrawn in 2012, which were suitable for primary readers.
The response from both staff and pupils at Gateway was overwhelming and the books were incorporated into their collection without delay.
Librarian, Mrs Mdluli, and the Grade 7 library monitors spent an afternoon at College. The visitors were given a tour of our library by Form 5 monitors. They soon mastered the computer access and enthusiastically chose books to read, while Mrs Rhode shared her display ideas with Mrs Mdluli
.
With Readathon week and World Literacy Day in early September, we planned a Book Drive to collect ‘gently used’ books from the College Community, to offer to the children who have limited access to enriching reading material.
A big thank you to all who responded and enabled us to surprise the Gateway children with 7 boxes of books !
