The South African Library Week (SALW) will be celebrated from 18-26 March 2017 with the theme “My Library, Your Library“ and sub-themes: “My Library, My Home”, “Mind your Library” and “Tell me about your Library”.
The theme, “My Library, Your library” takes libraries into the heart of the community and strives to awaken a sense of ownership in each community member. The theme also encourages people to take libraries to heart and to treat these as their homes so that destroying libraries and burning books becomes unthinkable.
Members of the media are invited as follows:
