The article discusses the significance of "silence" boards in libraries. The article reports that libraries have transformed alongside South Africa, and with their help, the country will continue to grow and achieve equity and access, particularly in education and training. Today libraries are places of active learning rather than places of silence. They've changed to meet the challenges of the society, and are community driven and focused on empowering library members and visitors alike. Jeanette Vosloo, assistant director of the Western Cape Provincial Library Service says that various activities will be held throughout the Cape Learning Festival such as visits to libraries by writers, storytelling sessions, etc.
