James Reckitt Hull Children's Book Awards

The programme is free of charge for all members of our Hull Schools Library Service and includes sessions for -

The awards aim to:
- Foster a love of reading by introducing young people to new writers and titles they might not normally pick up
- Encourage reading outside of school and increase the number of young people using libraries
- Encourage young people to share their opinions about the books they are reading, listen to the opinions of others and engage in positive debate about the titles
- Provide an exclusive opportunity for young people to experience a large scale literature event and meet the writers of the books they are reading
