Join us for some light refreshments and an opportunity to provide a warm welcome to Nosiviwe "Vidie" Lutuli, our exchange librarian from Masiphumelele Community Library in Cape Town, South Africa. Vidie will give a short presentation about her roll as a librarian in South Africa and community she serves. After, get another chance to mingle with Vidie as we move down to Jet's Pizza. The owners of Jet's have generously offered to give 10% of their sales that evening to contribute to Vidie's expenses during her stay with us.

For the past three years she has been working at Masiphumelele Community Library building relationships with the community with outreach to different age groups.
