Librarians' Choice: Top 20 South African Books



LIASA is in search of the Librarians' Choice of Top 20 South African Books for the last 20 years!
In celebration of 20 years of democracy we are calling on you, South African library staff, to nominate your favourite books published in the last 20 years in South Africa. You don’t have to be a LIASA member to participate.
 
The nominations are open to all genres, all types of literature from fiction to non-fiction, adult and even children’s books. We want you to tell us about those books that you treasure; books that you believe should grace each and every library collection in the country. The titles could focus on issues of democracy or contribute to the consolidation of our new democracy; or it could examine who we are and where we are going as a nation. It must be written by a South African author in one of our official languages and must be published between 1994 and 2013.
 
You may nominate up to 20 titles. The winning titles will be those that received the most nominations overall. The Librarians' Choice: Top 20 South African Books nominated by you collectively, will be announced on 15 March at the launch of SA Library Week 2014. Also, all participants in this exciting endeavour will automatically go into a draw and ONE LUCKY WINNER will walk away with a full set of the Librarians' Choice: Top 20 South African Books!
Put on your thinking caps and get cracking. We would love to hear from you!

Closing date for submissions is 31 December 2013.
