National Book Week – 1-18 September 2016

“It was Nelson Mandela who said that ‘education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’. As the South African Book Development Council, we firmly believe that access to books from an early age is the sharp edge of the spear. That said, we are never too old to learn. By equipping citizens of all ages with books to read, we give them the ability to learn, to gain knowledge and to participate in the economy. Can there be a greater gift? This is why we are proud to drive the annual National Book Week and continue to build an army and nation of readers.”
Jane Molony, PAMSA executive director and chairperson of the South African Book Development Council
