Abstract

This chapter assesses the state of rural South Africa on the availability of strategies, infrastructure, programs, information sharing, and skills. The conditions of rural community libraries were affected by limited budgets allocated by the South African government. The majority of rural community libraries are illiterate, impoverished, or marginalized because of the apartheid system. The study recommend rural librarians to provide education to rural communities because of the need to social justice education. This is important during the COVID-19 pandemic as disadvantaged communities need information.
