In honour of Women’s Month, our book discussion theme was “Women’s Voices in Literature” 💜

Through books and stories, women have shared their experiences, challenged ideas, inspired change, and given a voice to stories that deserve to be heard.

This month, we celebrate the strength, courage, wisdom and creativity of women authors and the powerful stories they bring to life.

Let’s celebrate women, one story at a time. 💕

A celebration of Dolly’s enduring legacy of books, literacy, and a lifelong love of reading.

Rest in peace Dolly Parton💐

Dolly Parton spent decades doing something extraordinary.

Through the Imagination Library, she put books in the hands of millions of children who might never have had one, because she believed every child deserved the chance to fall in love with reading.

"Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission."

She lived that mission completely. More than 200 million books delivered to children across the world.

A generation of readers who exist because she showed up for them.

The world of literacy lost one of its greatest champions today.

Rest well,
Dolly.

Our Librarian, Lawulani Gaba conducted a Digital Literacy information session, and the ladies were very eager and enthusiastic to learn. They actively participated and showed great interest in developing their digital skills.

Well done to all the ladies for their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn during the Digital Literacy information session. Your participation and willingness to learn were greatly appreciated.
