Cape Town’s libraries are getting ready for World Read Aloud Day (WRAD) 2023, a global initiative that celebrates the pleasure of storytelling and the transformative effect of reading out loud. Nal’ibali, the torchbearer of this initiative in South Africa, aims to have parents, caregivers, and other participants read aloud to a minimum of three million children across the country. Libraries in Cape Town are gearing up for the event and are ready to host a series of WRAD events, with the aim of creating a joyful experience for kids and sparking an interest in reading.
