About Children’s Book Week – “Cover to Cover, Coast to Coast”
Children's Book Week is the annual celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading. Children’s Book Week is in its 95th year!
Established in 1919, Children's Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Every year, commemorative events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, homes -- wherever young readers and books connect!
Children's Book Week is administered by Every Child A Reader, a 501(c)(3) literacy organization dedicated to instilling a lifelong love of reading in children. The Children's Book Council, the national non-profit trade association for children's book publishers, is an anchor sponsor.
