The collection* includes over 57,546 books. Some 5,577 of these books are in overseas translations in 79 languages. It holds a unique part of Australia’s cultural and literary heritage. And they are now 50 years young!
Publishers, authors and illustrators, foreign dignitaries and ambassadorial staff, researchers, teachers, students, and the members of the Australian community visit. Access to the collection is available during opening hours.
This year the NCACL is running their first major financial campaign to raise funds to support the work of the Centre and to carry it into the future – hoping they run for at least another 50 years! They need our help and hope you are able to support their campaign through a donation and perhaps forwarding this message to friends and colleagues who love kids' lit as much as we do here at KBR and are interested in supporting what they do.
This year the National Centre for Australian Children’s Literature (NCACL) is reaching out to all Australians interested in children’s literature for help. Please consider being part of this extraordinary and exemplary archiving endeavour. Because keeping children's stories alive matters!
