Parking is available on the street. The Queensland Branch organises many activities and functions each year. Most of these revolve around the Awards and the celebration of Children s Book Week, however others involve workshops, lectures and discussions by authors, illustrators and other expert speakers. Lists of books recommended by children are compiled and circulated over the Internet. Our community service projects program fund the purchase of books to be placed where needy children and their carers can easily access them.
Donations are most welcome.
The Branch is active in promoting children s books at every opportunity. Information about children s literature is disseminated through the newsletter, the website and speakers who address professional and community groups, as well as phone and fax enquiries through the office. While the events and meetings listed are Brisbane based, people keen to promote children s reading in their local area have formed regional groups. Currently groups exist in the Townsville, Rockhampton, Gympie, the South Burnett and Sunshine Coast areas. All work is voluntary and done by ordinary people who are committed to bringing children and good books together.
