Alexandra Palace is joining forces with local libraries, schools and bookshops to inspire a new generation of young bookworms, by this week launching Biblio-Buzz 2025 - the Alexandra Palace Children’s Book Award.
Biblio-Buzz is aimed at young people, aged nine to 12 years old, across north London 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 in March 2025, plus a ceremony for the Haringey Library Service Award in Wood Green Library, where they will meet the authors, get their books signed and take part in workshops. Over 1,500 young people took part in this year’s campaign.
Biblio-Buzz 2025, runs from January until March next year, but with the shortlist announced in November 2024, those taking part are encouraged to get reading!
