Come along to our AGM night with Guest Speaker, local author and SLASA patron Phil Cummings. Following Phil's keynote, we are excited to host a Literary Panel discussion with Phil, Tania Ingram, Becky Lucas from Becky's Literary Bookings and 2026-27 CBCA Older Readers category judge, Rachel Speck. It promises to be a rich and engaging conversation on a diverse range of current issues in children's literature.
From the panel discussion we will move into our AGM after which there will be a light supper and the opportunity to meet with several SA book shops and vendors all in the one space!
