"Theme: Develop @ your library

 

Following the LIASA's strategy of 2011, the idea is to link libraries to Government imperatives and thus build links with Government Departments and Government Ministers. With the major focus of government on job creation, the theme was chosen with this in mind. While libraries cannot create jobs, they do however contribute to this initiative by developing the nation through, for example, development of programmes that focus on skills development, providing access to information that allows the user to develop and empower him/herself and granting access to computers and online tools, enabling users to develop their computer skills as well as providing tools that allow them to draw up a CV or search for job opportunities."
