Khayelitsha Libraries Bring Stories To Families
Story 3
Khayelitsha libraries are taking storytelling into the community, bringing books and literacy activities closer to families.
The City of Cape Town partnered with Khayelitsha Day Hospital for the 1 000 Stories initiative, where library teams held storytelling sessions and activities for children and caregivers.
