The City of Cape Town recently hosted a thrilling writing competition for young learners aged nine to 17. The competition aimed to inspire the young learners to craft a story about a hero fighting for the environment. The winners were recognized at the Open Book Festival and were given the opportunity to feature in an online production and have their stories published or added to the Library Service’s Libby app. The competition’s success proved the untapped potential resting within the young learners and put the spotlight on libraries as crucial knowledge hubs in the community.
