Inís is the quarterly magazine of Children's Books Ireland. Inís contains reviews and articles on Irish and international children's books and is the only publication of its type in Ireland. Inís takes an Irish perspective on children's literature issues. There is an emphasis on books published in Ireland or by Irish writers, but the magazine is international in its range, outlook and contributors. Inis is a key resource for schools, libraries, parents, writers and everyone interested in children's books.

Inís means both ‘island' and ‘tell' in Irish and is pronounced ‘inn-ish'. Inís magazine was formerly entitled Children's Books in Ireland and took on its new name in 2002.  The first issue of Children's Books in Ireland was published in 1989 and since then the magazine has continued to grow in scale, focus and readership. Back issues of both CBII and Inis are available for purchase (stock allowing) or for consultation in the CBI office. CBI also intends to make the back issues of Inis available online. Watch this website for more details.

Inis magazine is available as part of membership of Children's Books Ireland or as a seperate subscription.  Inís is also sold in a number of bookshops in Ireland at a cover price of €4.00.
