SOME municipal libraries will be temporarily closed.
Residents are advised by eThekwini Municipal Library services to use libraries situated closer to them or to alternatively use any library to borrow or return books.
Arrangements for the delivery and collection of books to and from the elderly or disabled people’s homes will be made through Housebound Services.
Temporarily closed libraries in the Highway area include the Umbilo Library, Hillary Library and Reservoir Hills Library.
Musgrave Library or the Central Lending Library are suggested as substitutes for the Umbilo Library; Malvern Library is the suggested substitute for Hillary Library and Westville Library is recommended as the substitute for Reservoir Hills.
For elderly people who experience difficulty reaching any of these libraries, or who are requiring more information, contact Sikhumbuzo Nene at 031 311 2495 or email at Sikhumbuzo.Nene@durban.gov.za.
* Notice: Coronavirus reporting at Caxton Local Media aims to combat fake news
Dear reader,As your local news provider, we have the duty of keeping you factually informed on Covid-19 developments. As you may have noticed, mis- and disinformation (also known as “fake news”) is circulating online. Caxton Local Media is determined to filter through the masses of information doing the rounds and to separate truth from untruth in order to keep you adequately informed. Local newsrooms follow a strict pre-publication fact-checking protocol. A national task team has been established to assist in bringing you credible news reports on Covid-19.Readers with any comments or queries may contact National Group Editor Irma Green (irma@caxton.co.za) or Legal Adviser Helene Eloff (helene@caxton.co.za).
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
