1 ADULT PROGRAM 6 th 13 th September 2015 idtl.net.au/events/story-arts-festival

2 IPSWICH FESTIVAL OF CHILDREN S LITERATURE The biennial Ipswich Festival of Children s began in 1995 providing FREE sessions for children and low cost session for adults and young adults with an interest in children s literature such as teachers, librarians, and emerging writers and illustrators. The festival aims to increase an awareness of the value of the arts in relation to writing and illustration and help build and maintain increased audiences for children s literature. We plan to inspire young people to buy and read more books and gain an appreciation of the processes involved in writing and illustrating. We also aim to enthuse teachers and parents about the value of stories and encourage them to promote literature to young people. The Festival is organized and funded this year by the Ipswich District Teacher-Librarian Network. The Festival will be officially opened on Saturday 5th September at the Ipswich Community Gallery where The Many Story Treehouse exhibition created by Terry Denton and children from local schools will be on display until 20 th September. It is curated by Books Illustrated. Adult Program: The adult program begins with a focus on drama on Sunday 6 th September at Ipswich Central Library and is followed by a three day conference at the Ipswich Civic Centre on the 11 th September and the Metro Hotel 12 th 13 th September. The program is designed for Teachers, Teacher-Librarians, Librarians, emerging writers and illustrators, readers and anyone with an interest in children s literature. It is an opportunity to mingle with the writers and illustrators on an informal basis. Sessions will be both hands on and presentation style. All sessions are limited in number so book early to ensure a place. A formal dinner will be held on the Saturday night with entertainment by some of the authors and illustrators.
