Information about the event
Bókahátíð í Hörpu | City Library's Children's Program
The Reykjavík City Library will host an exciting reading program for all children from 12:00 to 16:00 on both days of the Book Festival at Harpa, November 16-17, 2024. The festival marks the beginning of the Icelandic Christmas book season and the release of Bókatíðindi, Iceland’s annual literary catalogue.
Doors open at 11:00, and together we’ll ignite a love of reading. We encourage all children to bring their parents along to the Book Festival to hear thrilling new stories and meet other book-loving kids.
