Happy Birthday to three literary legends - Bram Stoker, Kazuo Ishiguro and Samantha Shannon, all born on the same day!
From butlers and bone seasons to bloodthirsty counts, few writers have given us worlds quite like theirs. Cheers to Scorpio season! 🥂

Imagine picking up a book as a child and, a few years later, seeing your own story in one.

Libraries open doors to possibility and make books accessible to everyone. They are places where friendships are formed through a shared love of reading.
The joy of books goes beyond library shelves. It lives in reading clubs that bring children and communities together through the magic of stories.
This SA National Library Week, @RoomtoRead and Nal’ibali came together to celebrate our shared passion for books and reading clubs (hosted in homes, community halls, libraries, and school classrooms).
Together we showed how stories bring colour, imagination and energy into our schools and communities.
As Library Week comes to a close, take a moment to join your local library or book club and keep the magic of reading alive.
Remember, building a reading habit starts with just one book. One book can open a world of possibilities and make you unstoppable.
