CBCA Book Week is held annually in August. In 2026 the theme is 'Symphony of Stories' and events will be run during Book Week, 22 - 28 August 2026.
This national celebration was developed by the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) to promote excellence in writing and publishing for young people and encourage children to develop a love of reading and books. Since 1946 CBCA has held annual Awards for Australian writers, and 2025's short list can be seen below. These titles are available to borrow from your local library. The 2026 shortlist should be available in March, with winners being announced 21 August!
In the City of Gosnells, CBCA Book Week features sessions with visiting children’s authors, storytellers and illustrators. Follow the links on the Special Events images below for event booking details (these will become active once bookings open).
