Libraries Programme
About the Libraries Programme
The YearBeyond Libraries Programme is a partnership between YearBeyond and the Western Cape Government Library Service. The programme supports libraries as community centres of learning and access by fostering a culture of reading amongst children and promoting digital access for citizens.
What do YeBoneers do?
YeBoneers on the YearBeyond Libraries Programme serve as either Reading Champions or ICT Champions.
Reading Champions facilitate interactive shared reading sessions for children.
ICT Champions provide computer assistance to library users and staff and conduct basic computer skills training for community members.
Both Reading Champions and ICT Champions also create educational, library-based exhibitions, do community outreach initiatives, and support library staff with general day-to-day operations.
What are the eligibility requirements?
You can apply for the YearBeyond Libraries Programme if:
You are 18-25 years old.
You live near one of the libraries where the programme is implemented. (See the list of areas below.)
You are passionate about reading and enjoy working with children or have skills in ICT.
Meeting these eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection for the programme. To be considered, you must meet the eligibility requirements and complete the entire application.
Applications now closed.
