Event Description

The Northern Children's Book Festival is planned, organised and hosted by the library services of the participating Local Authorities in the north east of England

2009 is the 26th anniversary of The Northern Children's Book Festival. Each year seems to bring a bigger, better Festival and this year promises to be even more spectacular. 37 authors will be participating.

The Festival concludes with our celebrated Gala Day event. This year Gala Day will be at Stockton Riverside College on Saturday November 21st. The Gala Day is open to all and is the largest and best value annual reading celebration for young people in Europe. It will give children the opportunity to meet 10 of their favourite authors and illustrators, bringing the world of books to life via interactive sessions held throughout the day.
