The Open Book Festival and Granta Publishers (UK), have formed a partnership for 2013 that will see almost 25 000 books donated to libraries around South Africa as part of the 2013 Open Book Festival programme.

Called Pulp Fiction, the project is the brainchild of Mervyn Sloman of the Book Lounge and Open Book.  Knowing that a large portion of unsold books is pulped annually around the world, he called on Granta to, instead of pulping, donate their unused books for use in local schools and libraries.

“It seems such a pity that with so many libraries, especially those in schools, in desperate need of books, so many books get pulped across the world each year. Granta’s extremely generous donation of 24 496 books to this project enables us to draw attention to the need to support libraries across the country. It also of course puts almost 25 000 books into libraries across South Africa. Granta has been incredibly generous in covering all the costs of getting these books to Cape Town,” says Mervyn.

Stuart Cairns, part of the Book Lounge team and successful artist will be conceptualizing and creating an installation at the Fugard Theatre during the festival which will be broken down on 12th September (the day after the festival ends) by librarians from around the country.  Using the age-old adage of ‘finders keepers’, any books that are taken are kept and disseminated at each librarian’s library.

Open Book also runs a library project each year in partnership with Equal Education and anyone who would like to help the Open Book team in their quest to put together a top class library for Westridge High School in Mitchells Plain can contact Open Book Festival Co-ordinator, Frankie Murrey, on Frankie@openbookfestival.co.za.

To view the installation, come to the Open Book Festival, taking place from Saturday September 7 – Wednesday September 11. For more information visit www.openbookfestival.co.za.  Book for all events via Webtickets (www.webtickets.co.za).

Afrojack en Starbeach
Afrojack opende dit jaar als suprise act het 20e seizoen van Starbeach en komt in september terug om het in stijl af te sluiten. De openlucht feestlocatie op Kreta laat weten geen betere headliner te kunnen wensen. Nick van der Wall speelt vanaf het prille begin van zijn dj-carriere op Starbeach waar hij tijdens zijn vakanties op het Griekse eiland smeekte om te spelen. Sinds dien is de vriendschap gegroeid en geeft hij bijna jaarlijks onvergetelijke special events op Starbeach.

Afrojack in eerste aflevering Starbeach mini-docu
Aan het begin van de zomer onderbrak Afrojack zijn vakantie op Kreta om op Starbeach als suprise act op te spelen. Dit zorgde voor het thema van de eerste 'The World of Starbeach' aflevering waar de kijker wordt meegenomen in de opbouw van het feest. Bekijk de eerste aflevering nu op YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvEVLbA8qYg

Monster line up 20e seizoen
Na 20 jaar zorgt Starbeach nog steeds voor de populariteit van Chersonissos als vakantiebestemming voor jongeren vanuit de hele wereld en dat mag niet onopgemerkt voorbij gaan. Daarom viert Starbeach deze zomer haar 20-jarig bestaan met een ongekende line up gedurende de zomer (Afrojack, Hardwell, Quintino, Sander van Doorn, Porter Robinson, R3hab, Bassjackers, Showtek e.v.a.) en sluit het seizoen af met de 20th Birthday Festivalweekend.
