Biennial Report

We are pleased to present the IBBY Biennial Report, a comprehensive overview of our activities, achievements, and continued commitment to promoting children's literature and the right to read worldwide. The Biennial Reports are the most important sources of information about the direction and development of the IBBY’s international activities, awards and events. They also include all the basic information concerning the central organization of IBBY. The Biennial Reports are compiled and written by the Secretariat in Basel and can be viewed online. The most recent report can be found below and earlier reports can be found in our Archives.
