Web Site for: Despatch Library
Description: The very first unofficial library in Despatch was operated from a farmhouse. When the owner of the farm died in 1933, a group of people kept the library going by collecting and exchanging books amongst themselves. They raised funds by organising concerts and other events to buy new books. When the public library as we know it today was officially opened on 28 May 1967, this group of people proudly handed a cheque of R1000 to the new library. The money was used to beautify the garden and erect a water fountain.
