World Read Aloud Day celebrates the power of storytelling and literacy, with the goal of enchanting three million children across South Africa this year. Libraries in Cape Town, along with the Library and Information Services, are crucial collaborators in this project, exemplifying the essence of community literacy. The benefits of this initiative extend beyond the individual children who hear the stories, positively influencing entire communities and fostering creativity, empathy, and understanding. The commitment of Cape Town’s city officials and caregivers across South Africa reflects the transformative power of stories and the lasting importance of literacy.
