These lessons can also help students to become familiar with the life of the library and in this way they can use books and other services offered by the library. All the students of lower and upper classes enjoy spending their time here reading reference books or monthly newspapers. Prepared by Bernadett Kovacs, Headmaster Reproduced with permission from the IASL Newsletter, February 1997. The Association is a body of library and information personnel in Botswana. It attracts library and information workers.
Membership is currently around forty.
Though the Association celebrates 20 years of existence in 1997, its growth has been quite small these years. The report of the chairperson of the AGM of 1994 bemoans this fact. She complained of a small membership of 38 individuals and five institutions. Though membership has changed figures have remained fairly constant. To date this has not made much difference.
