Book Week is, traditionally, the week where we celebrate the winners of the CBCA Book Awards.
At Sion we use it as an opportunity to celebrate the way that reading and literature enhances our lives.
Radio National's Big Weekend of Books
ABC Radio National's second annual Big Weekend of Books festival is taking place on the air waves and online over August 28-29.
