hank you to everyone who came to the BookFest zine-making workshop last weekend inspired by the Outside In World collection of children’s books in translation. It was a great success, and we signed up some new external library members!

Selected and curated by two MA Illustration students, Kate and Josie, many of the examples reflect the theme of journeys.
