2012  Loustal: Open Book 2012

Preparations for Open Book 2012  http://openbookfestival.co.za/ are well underway and the time has come to share some details.
The festival is happening from the 20 – 24 September 2012, so be sure to book those dates now. The festival falls over a long weekend this year (Heritage Day is on Monday the 24th September) which makes attending exciting literary events even easier.
Last year we ran our School and Core programmes simultaneously. We have made the decision to separate them slightly in order to focus more on the school events instead of trying to split our time between both programmes. Our School Programme will run from the 17– 19 September and will include international and local authors who write specifically for younger readers: Loustal
