Reading & Libraries in an Internet World

By

Elizabeth Muller, a retired librarian extols the virtues of reading. While Reading attaches meaning to words, Children can discover what interests them, explore far away places, improve confidence and ambition through reading in a library.

Mrs Elizabeth Muller was the head of the Uitenhage Town library until 2009. She was responsible for most of the education programs during the school holidays. And she was also selected to represent Nelson Mandela Bay at a conference for Librarians worldwide in Sweden. She is also the co-founder of the annual Uitenhage Chess Festival now in it’s 12th year.

This talk was given at the TEDx Port Elizabeth event on using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

The 2016 TEDxPortElizabeth conference – Through the Looking Glass – took place on Friday, 1 July at the AFDA Film School Campus, 28 Bird Street, Central, Port Elizabeth.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
