Library newsletter, vol. 2, issue 4, July 2014

Abstract

The Library participated in various activities organised by the University for Mandela Day, including a visit to the Helen Joseph Hospital, to assist with cleaning the wards and feeding sick people. In addition, the four campus libraries held library specific activities to commemorate this special day. For APB/FADA Library, the celebration took an unusual turn when almost 100 students were treated to a free movie and popcorn in the library on Friday 18 July to celebrate the legacy of our iconic leader by watching “Long Walk to Freedom”, a movie showing the life of Nelson Mandela. Many have never had the opportunity to watch the movie before and appreciated the opportunity given to them by the library. APK Campus Library partnered with the Department of Information and Knowledge Management to commemorate Mandela Day by hosting Christo Brand in the newly built and beautiful “Deck at the Library” on Thursday 17 July. Christo Brand is the author of the book: Doing Life with Mandela: My Prisoner, My Friend
