It is Children’s Book Week and all around the country we are celebrating quality Australian literature for children.
Children’s Book Week was established in 1945 by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) and each year the Children’s Book of the Year awards are announced.
We hope to see you at the library soon to celebrate!
Children’s Book Week and the annoucement of Children’s Book of the year is almost upon us.
Every year since 1946, Australia has celebrated Children’s Book Week with the aim of promoting quality literature for young people.
The Children’s Book Council of Australia (SA branch) have put together a video of the shortlisted Book of the Year titles, all of which are available to reserve on our library catalogue.
Enjoy!

We have a special visitor who’s been at the library since last week… He’s enjoyed catching up on his reading, but we think he’s missing his family and would like to go home soon.
Let us know if he’s yours! We’re sure he is very dear to someone 🙂
