Macassar Library was buzzed with programmes during the months of July and August. The staff strives to restore dignity, hope and a sense of belonging amongst community members of Macassar. On the 18th of July 2025, the staff of Macassar Library celebrated Mandela Day and served soup and bread during lunch time to patrons visiting the library.
Later that day staff donated clothing to the community. The event attendees were also informed about membership applications, SmartCape and services offered. The day was well attended with patrons thoroughly enjoying themselves.
On the 20th of August, we hosted Women’s Day where we invited senior from the community to enjoy the day at the library. Some community member offered their services from rendering special song items, spiritual dance from regular ECD teacher, drum majorettes & Poems from False Bay Primary School and Febe’s Inn-Food who offered to donate some finger foods. Some community member offered to help with décor and flowers. We shared inspiring books and practical life tips, wisdom and well-being amongst our valued elders.
Various programmes were in abundance at the library
with Patrons having fun!
