Lit Club 4 Kids: 2024 Wrap up

What a fantastic year it has been for our Lit Club 4 Kids Book Club in 2024! We closed the year with an unforgettable online Q&A featuring the talented Tristan Bancks, author of our final book, Scar Town. Tristan shared his insights and inspirations, leaving our young readers buzzing with excitement.

This year our club grew to over 1,500 members across Australia, all coming together to share their love of reading. Lit Club 4 Kids offers young readers exclusive access to Q&A events, fun activities, and a community where their love of books can thrive.

Our 2024 book lineup was nothing short of extraordinary! From the spooky fun of This Camp is Doomed by Anna Zobel, to the heartfelt messages in Tweet by Morris Gleitzman, and the delightful adventures in Paws by Kate Foster, every story brought something special to our club.

Inspired Readers Festival

What a phenomenal few days in Port Macquarie! The Inspired Readers Festival brought together over 750 enthusiastic students and teachers from 18 schools. Students travelled from as far as Bowraville and Taree to join us in Port Macquarie, all united by their love of books and reading. Thanks to the support of Origin Energy Foundation, we proudly sponsored 361 children to attend the festival. Many of these students come from disadvantaged backgrounds, where opportunities like this are rare.

The festival had many unforgettable moments: Including captivating readings to interactive activities, the joy and excitement on the children’s faces as they selected books to keep, the awe as they got their books signed by their new favourite author, and the buzz of inspiration that filled the air.

We closed the festival with an incredible Fundraising Dinner at The Westport Club. This unforgettable evening brought together community leaders, passionate supporters, and our esteemed authors to celebrate literacy and education. Thanks to the generosity shown at our fundraising dinner, we proudly delivered over $9,000 worth of brand new books to schools across the Mid-North Coast, creating a lasting and meaningful impact on literacy in the region.

Festival Supporters

A heartfelt thank-you to our sponsors for their generous support—we couldn’t have done it without you! Your commitment to helping children build brighter futures through literacy made a difference.
