WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATIONS: EERSTE RIVER LIBRARY HOSTS MORE THAN 200 WOMEN
Ladies at the library
JAYDEE CYSTER @jaydeecyster
A
fter close to 15 years of Women’s Day being celebrated at the Eerste River Library, the library this year hosted over 200 women at the Eerste River Multipurpose Centre on Friday 11 August in celebration of Women’s Day. The event, which is hosted annually as a means of making local women feel special, saw more women register and attend than ever before. “This is our first year having 220 women attend,” says Patricia Noyoo, head of section 8, Library and Information Services. “With
this event, we are saying to the women that we need their assistance in our library and that we want them to participate and take ownership of the library and the programmes that are offered.” The theme, ‘Women loving themselves’, was chosen by the library staff as a means of firstly encouraging women to take action and secondly for them to take some time out to care for themselves. “With the theme, we want to encourage women to love themselves enough to act,” says Noyoo. “We wanted the ladies to break away and come to a place where they could feel special,” says senior librarian, Rene Jashim. She confirms that in previous years the

event would bring about 50 women together, but this year so many more registered. “We had to host it at the Multipurpose Centre so that we could accommodate more women,” explains Jashim. The programme included a variety of speakers and demonstrations, such as a selfdefence demonstration, a motivational talk by Raquael Rousseau, a wealth management talk by Old Mutual, as well as a talk on wealth creation by Ruth Adriaanse from Avon. “We tried to keep the programme as informative and light as possible so that the ladies could enjoy their breakaway,” explains Jashim. According to the senior librarian the
event took six months to organise, with the time being used to secure guest speakers as well as sponsors, which included Avon and Ubuntu Creations. “We started discussing and planning who we wanted at the event in December last year already, and we were fortunate enough to get the venue,” says Jashim. Her hope for the future of the Women’s Day celebrations at the library is that the event will grow from strength to strength. “We hope to have even more women attend next year. We also hope to secure the same venue, keep our current sponsors, and have additional sponsors come on board in the future,” says Jashim.
