Esteemed University Librarian at the National University of Lesotho, Dr Buhle Mbambo-Thata shared a speech on the day’s theme “Connect Your Library”. Dr Buhle Mbambo-Thata highlighted the importance of how libraries should align their strategies with development agendas.
She demonstrated the role of Libraries in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDGs), Africa Union Agenda (AU) 2063, National Development Plans (NDPs) and Institutional Strategies that involve advocacy with government decision-makers, raising awareness in the library community and activities that align with agendas and national developments.
