PUKU Visits Sandton Library
I paid a visit to Sandton Library last week to find out what’s going on and found myself pleasantly surprised.An entire floor of the massive library is dedicated solely to children and their parents. A wide selection of books are available but most of them are in English. Some of the books seem outdated and quite old but the Friends of Sandton Library held a book sale on the Square shortly after my visit to finance the purchase of many more new children’s books among other things.
With bean bags, little chairs and tiny tables, it’s a great place for kids to learn and read, quietly and safely. Story-time is Wednesday 3-4 for 3-6 year olds.
The Sandton library which is situated on Nelson Mandela Square is open to all members of the community. The library has a collection of over 92,000 volumes, as well as audio books, videos, music CDs and language tapes, the local daily and weekly newspapers, periodicals and the Provincial and Government Gazettes. Membership to the library is necessary to borrow material. Contact the Library on Telephone: (011) 881-6400.
