Well done! We had so many wonderful entries.
Each year since 1945 the Children’s Book Council of Australia has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. During this time schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children's authors and illustrators.
Congratulations to all the winners... Authors, Illustrators and Publishers!

Each year we invite local schools to our branch libraries to participate in Book Week and to learn about the library. Unfortunately due to COVID19 restrictions, we are unable to welcome classes this August. In place of these visits, we will be running two separate competitions for children to participate in.
