The State Library of Victoria‘s Reading Matters conference is coming up. This is a two day conference on Friday 27th May and Saturday 28th May. This does sound a fair way off, but the conference often sells out quickly, and if you book before the 18th February there are great discounts. The conference provides stimulating presentations by leading authors including Markus Zusak, Melina Marchetta, Ursula Dubosarsky, and Lili Wilkinson. During the conference there are also lively panel discussions and performances. Youth literature specialists will also be presenting at the conference.  For more information, including the conference schedule, click on SLV’s webpage below:
