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 entertainment and activities. The 2008 festival was the biggest ever with over 1600 events taking place in libraries, schools, bookshops and community arts centres all over the island of Ireland.

Details of the 2009 festival will appear on these pages over the coming months. Please keep checking back for updates on what will be happening in your local area.

Authors, Publishers and those planning to host events may wish to visit the guidelines section for more information on CBF participation.  

These pages also contain information for press and media, as well as details of our sponsors and partners, without whose generous support the festival simply wouldn't be possible.
