A new state-of-the-art library was opened in Impumelelo, Devon, on May 22.
Morokane Mosupyoe (Gauteng MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation), Devon SAPS, Social Crime Prevention, Vispol, crime prevention wardens, GBV Brigades, patrollers, Lesedi Local Municipality (LLM) officials, EMS, Department of Social Development, Lesedi traffic officials, daycare and school learners were in attendance.
LLM Mayor Mluleki Nkosi cut the ribbon to officially open the library.
“We plead with the community of Impumelelo to take care of this state-of-the-art library,” said Nkosi.
“The library is designed to have more than just books; it aims to serve as a community hub, embracing technology and innovation.
“The government wants the youth to be enticed to spend more time in libraries than other places that are not fruitful to the youth’s future,” said Nkosi.
The library boasts a built-in studio recorder, high-speed internet and Wi-Fi access, a vibrant space of activity for locals, and a gaming section.
It also provides leisure to study materials with sections for adults, children, and ICT, which have access to e-books, among others.
The library is at Stand 221, Devon.
