Children's Book Festival
Children's Books Ireland is the national children's book organisation of Ireland. CBI is involved in many activities and aims to engage young people with books, create greater understanding of the importance of books for young people and resource everyone with an interest in books for children, and foremost among these is the Children's Book Festival.
Presented by CBI in partnership with the YLG, the Children's Book Festival is a nationwide celebration of children's books and reading, held every year during the month of October.
The festival programme is always jam-packed with a huge range of book-themed entertainments and activities. The 2007 festival was the biggest ever, with over 1500 events took place in libraries, schools, bookshops, and community arts centres all over the island of Ireland.
This year, Octocon and Children's Books Ireland will be working together to help bring SF and Fantasy literature to a wider audience of young readers.
