STOP PRESS!
The Federation has WON the Eleanor Farjeon Award 2011 given for distinguished service to the world of children’s books, to a person or an organisation whose commitment and contribution is deemed to be outstanding.
The winning of this award is a tribute to the selfless hard work and dedication of everyone who has been part of the Federation over all the years and for the work in the groups, in schools, libraries and within families to share the joy of books and reading with children across the country.
