Nothing like a Monday that goes well! And that is exactly what we had on the 7th May at Siyazingisa Primary School in Gugulethu. We were delighted to do the first of three book handovers to the Grade R classes.
Siyazingisa is the focus of the Open Book School Library Project – OPEN BOX. Through this project we increase learners’ and teachers’ access to amazing books. The books remain in classrooms in mobile book units and as such can be used by learners and teachers through the day.
Our thanks to the teachers and principal at Siyazingisa for allowing us into their space and our thanks also to Book Lounge staff members, Lwandiso and Thandi for entertaining the children with great stories and activities!
And last but not least, thank you too to Verity Fitzgerald for donating her time to take such beautiful photographs!
