Tell us about your events

If you are hosting a public event for World Kid Lit Month (September) or an event related to international literature for young people (any time of year), please send us the details by email where possible a month in advance. We can’t promise to share everything, but if we receive the details early enough we try to share the details here on this page and with our network via social media.

Propose a partnership event

We are always keen to hear from organizations, libraries and bookshops that would like to partner with World Kid Lit CIC to co-host an event promoting translation and inclusive, international reading for young people. Please email Ruth if you’d like to propose an event or project.
