Winner of Helping Hands CompetitionNews, which just has to be shared, has just come in from Linda Barnard at Table View Library that they have won first prize in the UKS Helping Hands Competition - they have won R15 000.<br />
<br />
Here's the background to the Community project for which the prize was awarded.<br />
<br />

<br />
During August, as part of our 67 minutes for Mandela, we started the knit a row ‘n go project – blankets for Coronation Old Age Home in Oudtshoorn. Their plight was brought to our attention via Dalena’s daughter, who is a doctor at the local hospital and visits this old age home to render basic health services. This place is severely strapped financially – they no longer receive a state contribution, and staff have been working without payment for several months now. Often, there is no money for electricity, and it has been an extremely cold winter. A need for blankets/rugs was indicated, and so we started-<br />
<br />
Baskets of needles and wool was made available in the library and people were invited to Knit just one row before they leave, and it was shown as a way of overcoming the frustration of wasting time while queuing for assistance at the issue desk.<br />
<br />
The response was overwhelming – patrons remarked that it was high time something was done for the elderly – most people concentrate on babies, and forget about the elderly that have been abandoned or are in financial straits. Some took wool and needles home and returned with armfuls of knitted or crocheted squares ( we ran out of wool and hurriedly had to go and buy some extra) – others took squares home and sewed them together, and even knitted or crocheted edges around them. Still more sat down in the library and knitted away, while others brought all their odd balls of wool from home for others to knit up. We currently have 21 completed blankets and 3 more in process. Since we also mentioned that the babies in the hospital came from very poor families, some people knitted layettes and one person knitted a whole lot of teddy bears. We also received a donation of about 6 fleecy baby blankets.<br />
<br />
Soon after we started this project, I received an email from UKS, inviting libraries to share their community projects with them, and stand the chance to win a cash amount to support the project. So, I completed the entry form, added a few photos, sent it off and promptly forgot about it.<br />
<br />
This morning, I almost fell off my chair when I received the email below. <br />

Cape Librarian of the Year for 2012.<br /><br />Theresa is the Senior Librarian at
Rocklands Library, and she is passionate about libraries and believes that
libraries can become an active role player in changing communities. Theresa
lives out this passion for her community and her library. The sustainable
partnerships that she has established with various organisations within her
community demonstrates this. These organisations range from the Community Care
Organisation; "Hands off our children" NGO; to the Carnation Ward at G F Jooste
Hospital; to the Rocklands Primary "Siyafunda Community Project". There is an
early childhood development forum and she established sustainable literacy and
reading programmes in the library and surrounding schools.<br /><br />To empower the
women in her community, she started an Adult Matric group, which met regularly
in the library where they were provided with question papers, memos, support and
motivational talks. over the years , more than 20 women, older than 30, have
been helped through their matric - and this included having matric ball to
celebrate the achievement. What is absolutely fantastic is that most of the
matriculants are actively either working in libraries, or establishing school
libraries in the area or studying further for their library degrees! What a
wonderful inspiration!<br /><br />What makes this even more inspiring, is the road
that Theresa took to get here - having walked a similar walk to these women she
inspired. With finishing her matric at night school, and then completing her
studies at UWC; and then getting offered a junior lectureship, but opting
instead to take up a post as a librarian at Rocklands. Academia's loss is
public libraries' gain!<br /><br />Under her leadership, Rocklands has scooped four
provincial awards over the last five years from the Western Cape Department of
Cultural Affairs and Sports. These were for "Most Involved Community Library",
"Best Children's Services", "Best Youth Services" and "Best Public Library".
One of her nominees remarked that she hoped that this time, Theresa would win an
award for herself, for inspiring us all. A real role model and example
for us all! <br /><br />Congratulations Theresa! She now goes forward to represent
the Western Cape at the national leg of the LIASA Librarian of the
Year.<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Ingrid Thomson<br />Amina Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06964227268836033017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460204.post-41698090053974106632012-08-30T15:43:00.000+02:002012-08-30T15:47:39.728+02:00Election Results for the Western Cape LIASA Branch and Interest Groups<div>

A warm welcome to the branch Annual General Meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you for taking time out this morning to attend the
respective Interest Group AGMs and then staying for the branch AGM. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judging
by the LIASAOnline listserv postings about AGMs elsewhere in the country,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>quite a number of branches are holding their
AGMs this morning,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but also their
interest groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Western Cape led the
way with this last year!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea was to enable members to take time
out on one morning, attend their primary interest group business meeting and
then the branch AGM,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and take the
opportunity to do some good networking and sharing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only interest group not able to meet
today is SLYSIG as their membership is mostly teachers -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and according to WC Department of Education
regulations, meetings need to happen after hours, so their meeting happened on
Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is also an
election year for national, branch and interest groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
little later in the proceedings, we will hand over to Nazeem Hardy, who is the
Electoral Officer for the Western Cape to take us through the proceedings and
announce the new incoming BEC as well as the results of the elections for the
interest groups.</div>

<b>EVENTS </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Western Cape Branch has had an exciting and busy year
thus far, with the branch and the active interest groups offering opportunities
for ongoing professional education and development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
had some great plans for events, which didn’t happen for a variety of reasons,
but which we hope the new incoming BEC will take up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, there were quite a number of
opportunities which very quickly became oversubscribed .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within hours of an event being posted on the
listserv,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we had to put up “Fully
Booked” “Sold out” signs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
certainly seemed that members had to move quickly to secure spaces to avoid
disappointment.</div>

Our thanks need to go to our sponsors and supporters, not just

providing venues for meetings and training.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

One of the strengths of the Western Cape branch is the
number of active interest groups we have -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

acknowledge and thank the interest groups and the committee members for their
enthusiasm and commitment to LIASA, and to serving the LIS sector in the
Western Cape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

she is passionate about libraries and believes that libraries can become an
active role player in changing communities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Theresa lives out this passion for her community and her library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sustainable partnerships that she has
established with various organisations within her community demonstrates
this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These organisations range from the
Community Care Organisation; "Hands off our children" NGO; to the
Carnation Ward at G F Jooste Hospital; to the Rocklands Primary "Siyafunda
Community Project".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is an
early childhood development forum and she established sustainable literacy and
reading programmes in the library and surrounding schools.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To empower the women in her community, she started an Adult
Matric group, which met regularly in the library where they were provided with
question papers, memos, support and motivational talks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> O</span>ver the years , more than 20 women, older
than 30, have been helped through their matric -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and this included having<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> a </span>matric ball to celebrate the
achievement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is absolutely
fantastic is that most of the matriculants are actively either working in
libraries, or establishing school libraries in the area or studying further for
their library degrees!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a wonderful
inspiration!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When accepting the award at the Branch AGM on Friday 24th
August 2012,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Theresa acknowledged the
influence of librarians on her when she was growing up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The light of librarianship has been passed
on to her,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and in turn,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>she is passing this on to others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A true role model! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What makes this story even more inspiring, is the road that
Theresa took to get here -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>having walked
a similar walk to these women she inspired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With finishing her matric at night school, and then completing her
studies at UWC; and then getting offered a junior lectureship,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but opting instead to take up a post as a
librarian at Rocklands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Academia's loss
is public libraries' gain!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Under her leadership, Rocklands has scooped four provincial
awards over the last five years from the Western Cape Department of Cultural
Affairs and Sports.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were for<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Most Involved Community Library",
"Best Children's Services", "Best Youth Services" and
"Best Public Library".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of
her nominees remarked that she hoped that this time, Theresa would win an award
for herself, for inspiring us all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A real role model and example for us all! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Theresa is a graduate of the Carnegie Library Leadership
Academy as well as the Train the Trainer<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Programme.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Congratulations Theresa!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She now goes forward to represent the Western Cape at the national leg
of the LIASA Librarian of the Year.</div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Most librarians have been fighting
against the image and stereotyping of how other people see us. To change other people’s perspectives, we
first have to find out how we view ourselves.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Enter our competition as an
individual or library and give us an idea of how you see the librarian of
today. Your entry can take any form (e.g. picture, photo, drawing, poem, essay,
etc.) It must be accompanied by your
name or library’s name and contact details.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Our guest speaker was awesome author <a href="http://sapartridge.bookslive.co.za/blog/" target="_blank">S.A. Partridge</a> who shared her thoughts about Young Adult fiction and read a brief extract from her latest book, Dark Poppy's Demise .<br />
<br />
We also took the opportunity to hand over the Western Cape trophy to the Western Cape Librarian of the Year for 2011, Christelle Lubbe. And we announced that the UCT School of Librarianship would remain open and that the PGDIPLIS, Masters and Doctoral Degrees would be on offer from 2012.<br />
<br />
Father Christmas's helpers, Mercia Sias and Jacinta Avontuur, conducted the lucky draws. Thank you Mercia of <a href="http://www.worldbookonline.com/" target="_blank">World Books</a>, and <a href="http://www.redfeatherpromotions.co.za/" target="_blank">Red Feather Promotions</a> for the donations.<br />
<br />
As Julian Schroeder, Vice Chair of the branch observed during the thank yous, that members should head back to their libraries, check the Young Adults section for S.A. Partridge's books, and if they weren't there, to do the right thing and get them!<br />
<br />
The breakfast was fully booked with all places taken up on the day! The food was delicious, the service excellent and the view priceless. <br />

Veronica served as the children’s librarian at Milnerton Library for many years but she was much more than that to those of us who knew her. No one can forget the passion Veronica brought to children’s work. Her spirit will remain with us forever. We will surely miss her going forward, especially in the arena of children’s work.<br /><br />Her funeral service takes place on Thursday 13 October at 2pm at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Goede Hoop Street in Bothasig. <br /><br />Kind Regards<br /><br />Ingrid ThomsonAmina Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06964227268836033017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460204.post-22984098350334934632011-10-10T14:49:00.000+02:002011-10-10T14:49:14.057+02:00Western Cape members : Please diarise these dates ...Two dates to diarise.
