\u2019n LEESGERIEF wat in \u2019n stadium \u2019n plattelandse gemeenskap se trots was, het die afgelope dekade in \u2019n spreekwoordelike seer oog ontaard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baie min mense besoek deesdae die biblioteek in die Newtown-woonbuurt op Fort Beaufort omdat daar net t\u00e9 veel dinge is wat hulle afskrik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 biblioteek is bykans 40 jaar gelede vir die eerste keer in gebruik geneem. Die gemeenskap het dit destyds as \u2019n groot mylpaal in hul woonbuurt se geskiedenis beskou. Vandag sing hulle egter \u2019n heel ander deuntjie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MetMid-Karoo Express<\/span><\/span> se onlangse besoek aan die perseel, het rommel die ganse terrein vol gel\u00ea en het beeste, varke en bokke die afwesigheid van \u2019n heining ten volle benut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 is jare gelede reeds weggedra en aan skroothandelaars verkoop. Die reuk van uriene en ontlasting het nog in die lug gehang en die stoep was besaai met le\u00eb en gebreekte drankbottels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binne die gebou was slegs \u2019n enkele kranige leser besig om in die rakke na \u2019n boek te soek. Luidens die 56-jarige Sharon Pieters wat reeds 38 jaar lank bibliotekaresse in Newtown is, het sy weens haar werksomstandighede heeltemal belangstelling in haar beroep verloor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie biblioteek was my trots, maar nou maak dit my siek. Die plek is die afgelope 20 jaar in di\u00e9 toestand,\u201d s\u00ea sy terwyl sy na die gate in die plafon asook die stukkende deure en vensters wys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Pieters was foto\u2019s al geneem en aan die owerhede gestuur, maar kom daar net niks terugvoering nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs dit re\u00ebn is ons onder water. Dis net deur die genade van Bo dat ons nog nie tering opgedoen het nie,\u201d het Pieters ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Pieters lyk die biblioteek perseel oor naweke meer na \u2019n taverne as \u2019n leesgerief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op die stoep word gedrink en selfs dwelms gerook en groot, sowel as klein kinders breek snags by die gebou in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die meeste diefwering is heeltemal los en baie min van die vensters se ruite is nog heel. Rekenaars en elektriese ware is weggedra en deure wat tydens inbrake gebreek is, is nog nooit herstel nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns werk in die donker en is selfs bang om die ligte aan te skakel omdat meeste van die bedrading in die water hang,\u201d het Pieters ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pieters het aan Mid-Karoo Express <\/span>gewys waar \u2019n spinnekop haar aan haar been gebyt het omdat insekte vrye toegang tot die biblioteek het. Selfs die telefoon is die afgelope tien jaar reeds buite werking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luidens Pieters skroom dwelmverslaafdes ook nie om \u2019n vuur op die perseel se stoep te maak nie en trek vele skoolkinders soggens daar \u2019n dampie voordat hulle skooltoe gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar word snags hierbinne geslaap en soggens moet ons die gemors opruim,\u201d het Pieters bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Mid-Karoo Express<\/span> het weens klagte oor kinders se leesvaardigheid in skole, die plaaslike raadslid, Elten Bantam, oor die biblioteek krisis gepols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luidens Bantam dra hy kennis van die biblioteek sowel as die gemeenskapsaal se toestand van agteruitgang en verval. \u201cDis s\u00f3 jammer dat ons eie jeug ons geriewe so afbreek, maar dis \u2019n werklikheid wat mens nie kan wegwens nie,\u201d het Bantam ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luidens Bantam het die biblioteek die afgelope paar jaar onder die Departement van Sport en Ontspanning geval, maar is daar nou sprake dat dit weer deur die munisipaliteit bestuur gaan word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het reeds hierdie Donderdag \u2019n vergadering met die munisipale bestuurder en het die saak van die biblioteek hoog op my agenda geplaas,\u201d het Bantam ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
