In August each year we celebrate Book Week! Book Week is one of Australia’s longest-running and most-loved events for kids, families, and book lovers everywhere!

Since 1945, Book Week has brought schools, libraries, and communities together to celebrate the magic of reading and the people who bring stories to life.
