INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARY MONTH(ISLM) Mrs Stella Naledi Madzikigwa Reports from the Library desk

Friday 31st of October 2008 is the last day of the International School Libary Month. At GWEST CJSS the school celebrates literacy and learning. The efforts of some members of staff who have shared their publishing archievemnts are recognised at a combined Assembly. The GWESTCJSS people are happy to have the likes of:

1. Mrs Gaainewe Malebogo Mokobi-The Deputy School Head who has made a mark in publishing. She has been an author, a co-author and editor of several publications which have been used as
prescribed school books for quiet sometime.
The Books are shown to the school community
and everybody marvels with appreciation.

2. Mrs Stella Naledi Madzikigwa is a co-author, and a co-editor of the Botswana National Atlas. The Atlas is not only an information source but a historical landmark. It comes along with CD-ROMs which makes it even more usefull. One can even access it on the web. This is a work worth celebrating. In June 2008, Mrs Madzikigwa presented at the First Botswana Library Association Conference a conference paper and is happy to present the conference proceedings to the entire school community on this last day of ISLM.

** With these celebration the school also celebrates litearacy by displaying newly aquired library books encouraging the community to read.
