The annual Children’s Book Festival helps spread the enjoyment of books and reading among children and families, authors and illustrators, teachers and librarians all over Ireland.

Waterford Libraries are delighted to be able to bring you our Festival for 2021. All our events this year will be online.

We have a great line-up of authors and illustrators who will be ‘zooming’ in to Schools all over Waterford City and County for Children’s Book Festival this October!
