Preserving Children’s Literature at Centre for the Book
Those of us who attended the ‘Preserving Children’s Literature’ seminar at Centre for the Book are all still trying to figure out how the Co-ordinator for the First Words in Print Project, Nombulelo Baba did it. She managed to get a fantastic crowd of interested people from different projects together in one room to tackle the children’s literature issues head-on. The event was very well attended with a almost every chair in the room accounted for. Facilitator Sindiwe Magona got things going by appealing to everyone to think of buying a child a book with or even before anything else this Christmas. Speakers included Tanya Barben, Rare Books and Special Collections Librarian at the University of Cape Town, Mhlobo Jadezweni, Author of uTshepo Mde and isiXhosa Literature Lecturer at Stellenbosch University and Children’s book Author Catherine Groenewald author of I Could be Anywhere.
This event was different to the usuals ones on this particular topic firstly because there was a wide range of interested people who attended but also because it was all about solutions and the common thread of working together as a community rather than indivisually. Some great partnerships were formed and it was agreed that there should be more of these kinds of gatherings. We look forward to another session like this again soon.Book details
