Children’s Book Week has been celebrated across Australia since 1946. This year’s theme is Read, Grow, Inspire. 

During this time schools and public libraries celebrate books and Australian children’s authors and illustrators.

At La Salle College our iCentre/library staff will be hosting a range of fun and engaging activities including PCG quizzes, puzzles and craft activities to highlight the importance of reading.

Book week will run in Week 6 from 21-24 August.
