DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 24th April 2015: (INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO. 11-2015)
“Mr MW Rabotapi (DA) to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture”:
(1). What criteria is he using to identify areas where libraries need to be built
(2). (a). what determines the size of the building, (b) what amount spent on resourcing the library facilities and,(c) what amount is spent on the construction of the facility;
(3). How many libraries did his department built (a) in the 2013-14 financial year and (b) from 1 April 2014 up to the latest date for which information is available;
(4). (a). how many communities were identified for the construction of libraries in the 2014-15 financial year and (b) what amount of the department’s budget for the 2014-15 financial year was used to build the specified libraries to date? NW1731E
REPLY:
1. In accordance with Schedule 5A of the Constitution of the RSA, 1996, the primary responsibility for providing library services to the public rests with Provinces. The Provincial departments of Arts and Culture in consultation with the Municipalities identify areas where libraries should be built. The rollout of new library infrastructure is prioritised based on Municipal Integrated Development Plans (MIDP).
My department coordinates and manage the Conditional Grant for libraries to address Provincial priorities and needs.
2. (a). My department does not have the approved norms and standards which may determine the size of the library building. However, some of the Provincial departments have their own standards which they use to determine the size of the building; hence the size of the library building diiffers from Province to Province.
We are in the process of submitting a Bill on the Public Library and
Information Services to Cabinet which will provide for uniform norms and standards once consultations with the stakeholders are finalised.
(b). In 2013/14 an amount of R324 510 million was spent on resourcing library facilities.
(c). In the absence of a uniform norm and standard the cost of constructing a facility varies, however, on average R8 million was spent to construct a new library building in 2014/15.
3. (a). Sixteen (16) new libraries were built in the 2013/14 financial year
(b). From 1 April 2014 to date the department built a total of fourteen (14) new libraries and provided 3 modular libraries.
4. (a). Seventeen (17) communities were identified for the construction libraries in their areas in 2014/15, however, only 14 were built and completed while three (3) modular libraries were delivered.
(b). An amount of R112 million of my budget was spent in 2014/15 financial year towards new library buildings.
