The @NRBarometerSA does not only map the health of the South African reading ecosystem but also provides support for organisations and individuals in the literacy space. It is encouraging to see academics like Dr. Margie Childs from Nelson Mandela's Faculty of Education using the National Reading Barometer with their students.

As we wrap up #WorldBookDay, we also need to acknowledge that access to books remains very limited for a significant proportion of SA children. Read @NRBarometerSA findings about access to children's reading materials here https://t.co/ckhhMc41xg #NRB#Readingbarometer
Public libraries are important institutions that promote knowledge, personal growth, empowerment, and community engagement. They provide free access to a wealth of reading materials, resources, cultivate a love of reading, offer lifelong learning opportunities, and serve as social hubs that bring communities together. @NRBarometerSA has put together a list of ways we can encourage South Africans to use libraries.

62% of South African adults who live with children have a public library closer to their home. This access, however, is limited to urban areas as rural communities have fewer libraries.
@nalibaliSA believes that libraries are gateways to knowledge and culture. The resources and services they offer create opportunities for learning, support literacy, and education, and help shape the new ideas and perspectives that are central to a creative and innovative society. Increased access to libraries can help grow literacy and contribute to improved living conditions in various communities across South Africa.
