Kevyna Gardner Balaklava librarian judge February 3
BALAKLAVA librarian Kevyna Gardner has been selected as a South Australian judge of the Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards.
The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is a not for profit, volunteer organisation that was established in 1945 and is comprised of branches of individual members who are passionate about children’s and young adult literature.
The annual awards are for books with an implied readership under the age of 18.
The task will be time consuming for Kevyna, who will judge all four sections of fiction (picture books, early childhood, younger readers and older readers).
Typically the number of books entered in the fiction sections is in the upper 300.
“Children’s books are a fun read and I look forward to spending my semi-retirement doing what I enjoy,” Kevyna said.
Kevyna is keen to hear from any parents who can read selected books to their kids and provide feedback. For further information, contact Kevyna on 88621760.
