Since it is one of the International Youth Library’s most important tasks to reach out to a wide professional audience from many different countries, attending the International Children’s Book Fair in Bologna (Italy) every spring and the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany every autumn is a top priority. On the one hand, the library’s language specialists inform Book Fair visitors about their work and introduce them to the library’s unique collection and its various activities at these fairs; on the other hand, they seize the opportunity to learn about the most recent trends and developments within their language areas and make and renew contact with children’s literature professionals. Quite frequently, these conversations lead to first ideas for new exhibitions and projects. 

Meet us at the Frankfurt Book Fair:
October 14th - 18th: Stand 3.0 K374
