From the original intention of connecting teacher-librarians and authors together, the Northern Sydney has grown and established itself as a wonderfully passionate and dedicated group with bringing kids and books together.
With so many generous and talented creators of children’s books in the group, and the many great events run during the year, the group is a great way to catch up, share ideas and meet other likeminded authors, illustrators and enthusiasts of children’s books.
