International Book Giving Day is an opportunity to create enriching experiences for children through reading and storytelling by increasing access to books for children in underserved areas. According to the National Reading Barometer SA, more adults are reading with children and believe it is important, but they don’t have enough children’s books. Only 31% of parents, out of 4 250 adults who took part in the National Reading Survey, said their oldest child owned a book by age five. See tips on how you can assist in increasing access to children's reading materials in your community.
