World Book and Copyright Day is celebrated on 23 April every year and we celebrated this during the month of April by hosting events for learners from disadvantaged communities at some of our branches or at their schools around the country. We took hands with our suppliers and publishers to make this special for the learners by doing something special with and for them. This year's sponsors included Van Schaik Bookstore, Internet Express, SMD, Pilot, Freedom Stationery, Alplas Plastics, Jacklin Enterprises and Pan Macmillan.

Van Schaik has developed a secure and user-friendly online application to apply for a Van Schaik card. It will allow parents or guardians to apply for a card in the comfort of their home, on the device of their choice, at whatever time suits them best and avoid standing in a queue wasting time they could spend with their child. The student will then just pick up the card once the account has been approved.
