  • Nomakhaya Siwa, Manager of Library Services at Nelson Mandela Metro Libraries, thanked every man who stepped forward to attend Tuesday’s Men’s Reading Club Workshop at New Brighton Library.

Facilitated by our Community Development Coordinator Madoda Ndlakuse, the workshop was a powerful reminder that men have a vital role to play in children’s literacy. Every father, uncle, grandfather, brother and mentor who shares a story helps build a child’s future.

The movement is growing, and we need more men to answer the call.
  • Reading starts long before school. So does fatherhood.

The early years are where brains grow, confidence blooms and lifelong learning begins. Discover how men can make every story, every conversation and every moment count.
