LIBRARY LOOKS BACK: CELEBRATES 60 YEARS WITH PARTY
Kuils River Library turns 60 JAYDEE CYSTER @jaydeecyster

s a means of commemorating its 60th year in existence, the Kuils River Library hosted a birthday party on Saturday, which was attended by local residents, library staff and the City’s Mayoral Committee member for safety and security and social services, JP Smith. Senior librarian Wilhelmina Whitman expressed great joy at the turnout at the celebrations. “I didn’t think so many people would show up,” said Whitman. She confirmed that the planning of the celebrations took six months and that the organisation Friends of the Library was a great help throughout the planning stages. “They really played a major role in the planning and execution of our celebrations,” said Whitman. Residents and library staff were entertained by a boereorkes and were seen to be enjoying boerewors rolls and various games.

ry and Simon’s Town libraries are 100 years or older. The library was officially opened on 25 March 1957, although a group of residents had already been circulating a small collection of books among themselves for decades before then. It was in 1952 that the library committee realised the need for a dedicated building and decided to build a library. They raised funds and purchased two plots on the corner of Carinus and Van der Stel streets, where the library still stands today. In 1956 the library committee donated R5000 and the two plots of land to the municipality. On 25 March 1957, the new Cape Dutch style building was inaugurated and on 1 April 1957 the Kuils River Library joined the Cape Provincial Library Services. The library played host to the first training course for librarians in the province in May 1957. Neighbouring towns did not have libraries, and residents of Bellville, Durbanville, Brackenfell and Kraaifontein came to make use of Kuils River Library. Since its opening, the Cape Dutch building with its gable roof, which houses the library, has been extended twice. V To page 2.
