The South African Book Development Council (SABDC) is the representative body of the South African book sector. The primary aim of the SABDC is to increase access to books in South Africa and to get more citizens reading for leisure.
To achieve these goals the SABDC facilitates ongoing engagement with stakeholders from across the book value chain, in order to identify programmes which stimulate book development in the country.
National Book Week is South Africa’s dedicated reading awareness week. A time for any and every one to get involved in promoting the magic of books and reading in their communities, place of work, schools, religious institutions and most importantly, in the home.
NBW is implemented annually by the SABDC in partnership with the Department of Arts and Culture and takes place during the first week of September. This year, we will continue to celebrate a decade of book magic from 7 – 13 September 2020.
