Biblio-Buzz 2024 Launch Party

Come and enjoy lots of fun and creative activities, like: • Create a pop-up scene/ setting for your own book/ or inspired by one of the books at the event. • Create a playdoh character to put into your scene. • Make your own accordion book. Alexandra Palace is joining forces with local libraries, schools and bookshops to inspire a new generation of young bookworms, by launching Biblio-Buzz 2024 – the Alexandra Palace Children’s Book Award. Biblio-Buzz is aimed at young people in north London aged 9 to 12 years old, and challenges them to read the novels of six shortlisted authors, whilst taking on a series of literary challenges, including activities and roadshows in local schools and libraries. Participants will then vote for their favourite book before attending an awards ceremony at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, plus a ceremony for the Haringey Library Service Award, where they will meet the authors, get their books signed and take part in workshops. Biblio-Buzz 2024, runs from January until March next year, but with the shortlist announced, those taking part are encouraged to get reading!
