The Ipswich District Teacher-Librarian Network has some major news about the StoryArts Festival Ipswich (SAFI)! 📣

From 1995 to 2024, the Ipswich District Teacher-Librarian Network organised and funded the biennial Story Arts Festival Ipswich using the proceeds of our beloved annual Book Week publication*. SAFI brought countless children's authors and illustrators together with thousands of local students and families to celebrate the wonders of children's literature. 📚

In partnership with Somerset Storyfest, this legacy will continue in the form of a new annual festival called Storyfest West Moreton. We look forward to welcoming you to the first Storyfest West Moreton on 23 and 24 July 2026 at West Moreton Anglican College. 🗓️
