According to @BarometerSA, libraries remain important places for reading material access but are still not accessible to all, and many users don’t borrow books. See more findings here readingbarometersa.org/ #NRB #Libraries #library #literacy

There’s more evidence that very few South Africans are able to get enough books to read. The Nal'ibali Trust says that only about 58% of people in our country have any kind of access to a community library. Nal'bali Trust's Nqabakazi Gina explains.

The @BarometerSA uses 55 measures to provide a national picture of what enables and constrains reading in South Africa. The National Reading Survey contributes to this overall picture, drawing on the 2016 and 2023 surveys and the surveys planned for 2026 and 2030.
