Isaac Mokoena Community Library needs maintainance

Isaac Mokoena Community Library

Our community at Ward 55 in Katlehong doesn't have a functioning library, as the Isaac Mokoena Library has been deteriorating over the Years, with no internet, no proper lighting, and no maintenance of the building and garden. When it rains, the roof leaks. 

We urge the Mayor to:

  • Ensure that the library is repaired and well maintained, and that the lighting is fixed.
  • Ensure that people can have access to internet/wifi when they visit the library.
  • Ensure that the garden is maintained.

Why is this important?

People, especially children, in low-income communities deserve to have access to a library. Our literacy rate is declining, and the neglect of our libraries contributes to that. Our children's education has to be prioritised, and having well-functioning third spaces such as libraries is important.
