Jotello F Soga Library joins the Department of Library Services’ centenary celebrations
The Department of Library Services had its centenary celebrations on 12 October.
It took place in the Learning Centre of the Merensky Library on the Hatfield campus.
The event was attended by current and retired staff and included the cutting of the Centenary cake by Mr Robert Moropa, current Library Director and Prof Eggie Gerryts who retired as Director in 2004.
A staff mosaic created by staff of the library’s digitisation office was unveiled and the book “The Merensky Story” was launched.
The event was concluded with tea in the foyer of the auditorium and the place was abuzz with old friends chatting along.
At our own library we had colourful balloons and a beautiful flower arrangement, a display of books from different periods of the library’s existence and sweets and water bottles to give to students who borrowed books.
We are proud to be part of the Merensky legacy and are looking forward to another century of success.
