KNYSNA NEWS - Local libraries are joining public libraries nationwide that are celebrating the 22nd edition of South African Library Week (SALW) this week.

The theme for this year's library week is 'ReImagine! RePurpose! ReDiscover ... Libraries!'. The Friends of the Knysna Libraries are lending a hand in celebrating SALW. 

At the Knysna Public Library in St James Square in Knysna Central, a vast collection of books and research material on local history is available to the public in the research activities room every weekday from 09:00 to 16:00 this week.

Further, at the Cearn Hall Library on Leisure Isle, the public can learn all about genealogy research. 

A family tree provides clues about the lives of those who were here before us, and this opportunity presents a unique way in which to learn how to go about it. This opportunity will be available during the same days and hours this week.

For more information on activities this week and how to get involved, contact Tracy Eray on tracyeray@gmail.com or Johann Vosloo on jvosloofamily@gmail.com.
