Oktobermaand is Borskanker-bewustheidsmaand. 🩷
​Kennis is krag, maar vroeë opsporing red lewens. Kom besoek ons borskanker-uitstalling om meer te wete te kom oor selfondersoeke, risikofaktore en die belangrikheid van gereelde mammogramme.

📚✨ WAT 'N ONVERGEETLIKE OGGEND BY DIE BIBLIOTEEK! ✨📚
​Ons het vandag ’n wonderlike boekgesprek gehad oor Martin Steyn se splinternuwe spanningsroman, Blinde kol! 📖🔥
​Erla Diedericks het die gesprek gelei en die regte vrae gevra—wat ’n fantastiese kombinasie! 👏 Die insigte oor die karakters en die skryfproses van ’n goeie gyselaars drama het almal van die eerste tot die laaste minuut vasgenael gehou.
​’n Groot dankie aan Martin en Erla vir 'n boeiende, insiggewende oggend en natuurlik aan al ons getroue lesers wat die geleentheid saam met ons kom geniet het! ☕️🍪
