MANY schools and libraries in South Africa continue to experience a serious shortage of books, due to a lack of sufficient funds.
These educational institutions struggle to supply their communities with proper reading material needed to improve literacy in young and old.
The RSG/KKNK Book Collection campaign addresses this shortage by collecting books for underprivileged communities.
In support of this campaign, Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets countrywide are providing collection points for books customers no longer use.
The public is invited to contribute to the campaign by donating all types of books, old and new, till 30 April.
The books can be deposited into branded golden trolleys located at the entrance to the stores. All books collected during this time will be sorted and distributed to needy schools, libraries and community organisations by the Vryburgers Diensorganisasie.
