Welcome to Joburg Libraries!

MOBIREADATHON COMPETITION FINALISTS !!!

Congratulations to every learner from the 56 schools that participated in our Mobireadathon Reading Development Competition in the first phase. We received a total of 507 registrations with more than 300 learners who actually read and answered all quiz questions!! This is HUGE achievement considering that leaners had to use mobile devices, and others did not have access but they still tried. WELL DONE!! SMART READERS!

We are proud to announce the Top 11 Schools whose Grade 8 learners will be competing in the Finals to be held on June 22.  Learners from these schools were selected according to the highest pass marks from all 4 stories, and the time it took to complete quizzes. Interestingly most schools had more Grade 11s, Grade 9s, and Grade 12s who completed the quizzes. However, for the finals, we will only select the Grade 8s, who will be reading 3 stories in preparation for the finals to be held at the University of Johannesburg.

SEE THE LIST ON THE LEFT: the names of the competing schools.

On  3RD MAY , Wednesday, we will  list the learners and the new stories to read for the finals, under the Mobireadathon page
