With the end of their high school careers rapidly approaching, the City of Cape Town’s libraries offer unique study spaces and resources for matrics knuckling down ahead of the final exams.

Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health Patricia van der Ross explained that libraries are more than knowledge hubs and are going the extra mile to ensure matric learners have as many resources as possible ahead of their final exams.
‘While libraries provide a safe space to study, some have set aside their halls or other open spaces to ensure quieter areas conducive to swotting,’ she said. ‘For many learners, the library is the only place where they can study without interference or the hustle and bustle of their daily and family lives.’
The City’s libraries also offer study guides and past matric exam papers, while others provide a matric support group and reference sections.

‘This is the last dash before the finish line and I want to wish all our learners the best as they work towards their goals. I encourage our matric learners to make use of the spaces, resources and opportunities presented by our libraries.’
‘Vandalism and theft remain a challenge and the impact and implications for those learners who depend on the facility is far-reaching and goes beyond the damage caused. Libraries play a critical role in providing information and support for education and I want to implore our communities to take ownership of these facilities and look after them for this generation and the next,’ said van der Ross.
