Calling all fans of picture books, graphic novels and epic middle grade series!
In 2024, we’re swapping our events for young readers from Saturday to Sunday under a new name – Young Readers’ Day.
Join us for a packed program designed for the youngest of book lovers and featuring some of the most dazzling names in Australian children’s literature. Completing the line-up is Adelaide’s own Story Trove, the participatory performance group who invite youngsters to bring stories to life through play and performance.
