The Children's Book Council of Australia SA Branch (CBCA SA) is a branch of the Children's Book Council of Australia - an independent, not for profit, volunteer organization established in 1945 to promote children's literature to children, young adults (to the age of 18), parents, individuals and professionals connected with education and literature for young people. 
​
The CBCA SA Branch:

• provides resources and information about children's literature.

• stimulates wide interest and discussion of children's literature.

• supports South Australian authors and illustrators of children's and young adult books.

• distributes information about children's books, authors, and illustrators.

• supports quality children's and school library services.

• facilitates the appointment of judges to the CBCA Book of the Year Awards panel.

• organises professional development and community outreach activities supporting children's literature. 

​

The CBCA SA Branch is managed by a committee of volunteers who are passionate about bringing children and books together. It includes teachers, librarians, teacher librarians, community members and children's literature creatives. We invite and encourage membership from the South Australian children's literature community.
