Biblio-buzz is run by Alexandra Palace’s Creative Learning team in partnership with Haringey Library Services and is aimed at young people aged nine to 12 years old. From January 2023, participants are challenged to read six shortlisted texts, before voting for their favourite. Biblio-buzz 2023 will culminate at an awards ceremony on Friday 24 March at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, where participants will meet the authors, get their books signed, take part in workshops and Q&As, and find out who the winners are at a very special ceremony.
If you are a young reader or a school looking to find out more about taking part in our literary challenge please email the team at learning@alexandrapalace.com
This year our official suppliers are Muswell Hill Children’s Bookshop and Pickled Pepper Books who are offering discounted packs of the shortlisted books to schools or individuals who take part in Biblio-buzz.
