2013 is the 20th annual Reading Matters conference. Programmed and run by the Centre for Youth Literature, and held at the State Library of Victoria, the conference is a major event for students and librarians alike.

Yesterday was the student day at the Centre for Youth Literature’s 2013 Reading Matters Conference. The student sessions featured a few Booked Outers: Myke Bartlett, Fiona Wood and Morris Gleitzman.

Today is the first of two days of the professional program, which adds a few more of our speakers: Gabrielle Williams and Paul Callaghan. Our Director Lauris Pandolfini is on the scene to follow the progress of the conference.
