The
formal launch of South African Library Week takes place at the National Library of South
Africa
in Pretoria on Saturday
20 March 2010 as an acknowledgement of the opening of the first
public library, which subsequently became the
State Library in Cape Town, on the same day in 1818. It also acknowledges Human Rights Day
which is celebrated on 21 March. As the freedom of access to
information is enshrined in our Bill of Rights, there is an
important
link between this important event for libraries and
promotion of the freedom of access to information to ensure
that democracy flourishes. |
