ABOUT CBCA SA

The Children's Book Council of Australia (South Australian Branch)  is a branch of The Children's Book Council of Australia - an independent, not for profit, volunteer organization established in 1945 to promote children's literature to children, young adults (to the age of 18), parents, individuals and professionals connected with education and literature for young people. 
​

At branch level we:
  • Organise activities to provide resources and information to adults involved with children
  • Stimulate wide interest and discussion of children's literature
  • Encourage South Australian authors and illustrators of children's and young adult books
  • Disseminate information about children's books, authors and illustrators
  • Support quality children's and school library services
  • Support the appointment of judges to the CBCA Book of the Year Awards panel
  • Organise professional development and community outreach functions and activities 
The SA Branch is organised by volunteers passionate about bringing children and books together. It includes teachers, librarians, teacher librarians, community members and creatives. 
We invite and encourage membership from the South Australian community.
