Children's Book Week ® with Renae Hayward
Monday 19 August | 3 x Sessions

Come and celebrate Children's Book Week® with Subiaco Library.

Each year schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators. This is an opportunity to meet a well loved author and learn about the joys of writing, how to become published and where authors find their inspiration and amazing ideas.
