SES Hilton is working with the Umngeni Municipality, The Hilton Quarry Spar and other businesses to uplift Hilton’s Community Library.
In recognition of what library spaces mean for the community, we are thrilled to have a workday planned for Friday the 12 August, at the Hilton Library, 8am.
Bring your work clothes and garden tools. Coffee, tea and a light snack will be provided.
What started out as a small garden clean-up for the library has grown into an exciting and positive initiative. With the generous help and contributions from Greg Downs from Hilton Quarry Spar and other businesses we are able to take care of some critical infrastructure maintenance in order to protect the building and gardens. On the arts and culture side, there are discussions about mural art for the Library and many more opportunities for Nancy’s outreach programmes.
The team at SES Hilton have installed an energy back-up system so that Nancy and her staff can continue to process books during power outages. Thank you to Kevin Palframan from Battery Centre for donating a battery.
'We are excited that the Hilton community is coming together to protect our beautiful Library!' agree Tammy and Tarryn of SES Hilton.
