Friends of the International Youth Library Foundation
Children and youth literature needs friends! In times when public funds for youth and cultural activities are becoming increasingly scarce, more than ever!
For almost 20 years, the association has been promoting the excellent work of the International Youth Library (IYL) through financial and non-material support. The aim of the IYL is to strengthen curiosity about and knowledge of the treasures of world literature among children and young people and thus to inspire an enthusiasm for reading as the best educational tool for a cosmopolitan education. Major projects such as the biennial White Ravens Festival, exhibitions of illustrated books on a wide variety of topics, and panel discussions are supported by the association, as is much of the varied program of events. The association's dedicated members also pay attention to the preservation of the large and valuable archive holdings.
This cultural program of the IYL can only be continued successfully in the future if support beyond public funds is available.
Help us and become a member of the Friends of the International Youth Library Association! So that the book castle becomes a magnet for young and old bookworms even more than before.
