JOBURG, THROUGH BOOKS

The Lit District celebrates Joburg’s book culture, past and present. We bring together the City Library, booksellers, and readers in our area while working to make it a safe, walkable neighbourhood.

Our Partners

Ogranisations we are grateful to be working with in rewriting the story of Joburg.

The Literary District runs on community support, all our work is powered by donations. We send thousands of books, new and used, for free to libraries and community organizations across South Africa to amplify literacy outreach programmes.
