To The Public Problems Encountered Corrective Steps Taken To Deal With The Challenges Library And Archival Services

Library Service for learners • Lack of libraries in schools. • Partnership with DoE in providing schools, especially rural schools, with book trolleys and revamping spaces in schools to turn them into libraries.

• Need for study space after hours. • Designing new libraries in such a way that the study rooms have separate entrances from the main entrance to allow after-hours access for study purposes.

• Extending library hours in libraries during exam time and appointing extra staff to assist during this period.

• Included Local government into the project teams when planning for the league programmes. This assisted with grounds being graded or facilities being marked.

Library books for the public • Lack of local content in library material/books. • Support for Gauteng emerging authors by advertising and buying their locally published books. • Lending of library material after hours and lending to remote patrons.

• Subscribing for e-books and e- newspapers to allow virtual lending 24/7. • Provide Gauteng libraries with computer workstations for the blind and visually impaired to enable them to access and read library material. • Install an electronic archival system in the Gauteng Archives to make the material accessible virtually. • Develop a Gauteng Records Management Strategy to acquire all Gauteng records that were misplaced or stored offsite in order to relieve government from offsite storage costs and make these records retrievable when needed.

• Calls for additional resources to meet the demand are made.
