The eThekwini Municipality Libraries Department will purchase two copies of each book by every writer featured at the Time of the Writer Festival this year.
The 19th Time of the Writer kicks off in Durban on Monday, 14 March, presented by the Centre for Creative Arts (UKZN).
The authors’ books will be distributed to 92 municipal libraries around eThekwini and featured prominently in Time of the Writer displays, to encourage the community to visit the festival.
The eThekwini Municipality Libraries Department will also host a series of events entitled Conversations that Matter, which will take place in public libraries around the city.
The CCA has already announced a change in venues and a special programme for the Time of the Writer festival this year, under the theme Decolonising the Book. Instead of the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, evening panel session this year will each take place in a different location across the surrounding areas of Durban, in Clermont, Cato Manor, Umlazi, Inanda and KwaMashu.
A park and ride shuttle service will transport visitors to the various venues. The shuttle will pick up passengers from Durban Centrum Park, where there is secure parking, from Tuesday through to Saturday at both 10 AM and 5:30 PM every day.
