Foreword
This summary of the National Sections’ Biennial Reports 2006-08 gives a broad picture of the National Sections and through it the very intensive and extended activities that are run around the world by our members. This is the strength, or backbone of IBBY and through the members' biennial reports we can assess the growth and effectiveness of IBBY.
Although autonomous in the way they organize themselves, the National Sections share the IBBY mission and objectives of bringing children and books together. This common goal brings friends from every part of the world together, thus, achieving Jella Lepman’s dream of forging international understanding through children’s books.
As always, financial difficulties, lack of recognition and poor resources can be stumbling blocks, but in general all our members fulfil their aims and successfully organize their activities. Often the IBBY section is the leading organization for children’s literature in its country.
This summary is based on data submitted every two years to the Secretariat and includes information about the structure, the sources of funding and the national and international activities of each National Section. All information, including the contact details, reflects the membership as at June 2008. For current contact information go to IBBY Worldwide on the IBBY website: .
We would like to thank all those National Sections who submitted their biennial reports. The submission of a biennial report is one of the basic conditions of IBBY membership and we would like to encourage full participation by all members in this essential reporting.
IBBY is made up of many parts and all of them inspire, encourage and motivate us!

REPRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
To a large extent, the NS are directed and represented by a President, a Secretary General or Executive Officer and up to two Liaison Officers. Their names, as at June 2008, are listed in the following table. The current contact information can be found on the IBBY website:
Other staff members, often employed by supporting organizations, occasionally complement these core representatives. It is worth noting that many of the NS rely on voluntary work and usually develop a great number of wide-reaching activities.
Of the 59 NS that completed and returned the BR, 20 said that they were affiliated or were a branch of another institution; 39 declared themselves to be totally independent. Thus, there is not a prevalence of a single structure, though independent NS are in the majority.
▪ Affiliated to another organization or branch of an institution: Australia, Belgium (Flemish branch), Bolivia, Canada, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda, Venezuela.
▪ Independent: Albania, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay.
There are NS with their own office and some that do not have one: 38 of the NS have an office and 21 do not.
▪ NS with an office: Argentina, Austria, Belgium (Flemish branch), Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Nepal, New Zealand, Palestine, Peru, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United States, Venezuela
▪ No office: Albania, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Rwanda, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Uruguay
Different NS have different rules regarding their membership. In some cases, membership is restricted to organizations, usually because the IBBY NS is an umbrella organization (e.g. Austria and Croatia). In other cases, members are exclusively individual members, although these will sometimes represent a publishing house or an organization that they direct. By far the most common pattern for membership is a combination of organizations and individuals.
In almost all cases, the NS charge membership fees. Many NS have different categories of membership such as: Student, Individual, Organization, Donor, etc. Most of the NS say that membership fees cover only a small part of their budget.

FUNDING
BUDGETS
Not all of the NS that completed and returned their BR answered the question about their annual budget. Those that did answer can be classified into 4 categories:
1) No budget: Albania, Bolivia, Czech Republic, France, Indonesia, Ireland, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Poland, Uruguay, United Kingdom
2) Below $1,000: Nepal
3) From $1,000 to $5,000: Australia (steady), Ecuador, Estonia (increased), Hungary, New Zealand, Palestine, Peru (decreased), Romania, Rwanda, Turkey, Ukraine
4) From $5,000 to $10,000: Lebanon, Netherlands, Serbia, Slovenia, Uganda (increased)
5) From $10,000 to $40,000: Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus (not fixed and decreased), Denmark, Egypt (increased), Finland, Greece (decreased), Iceland, India (increased), Iran, Lithuania (increased), Moldova (decreased), South Africa (increased), Sweden, Thailand (increased), United States (increases slightly each year).
6) Over $40 000: Brazil ($107,200, increased), Colombia, Germany ($1,000,000), Japan ($400,000 decreased), Latvia ($66,000 increased), Mexico ($714,950 increased by 78.7%), Norway, Russia (increased), Slovak Republic, Switzerland ($60,000), Venezuela ($740,000)
Almost half of the NS included in this summary have budgets that allow them to carry out their activities and many of the sections declared that their budgets are increasing. The main reason for the variable or non-fixed budgets is that the section is part of another institution, and the NS has to apply for grants or look for partnerships for their activities. Fundraising is not always successful in many countries.
SUPPORT GIVEN SPECIFICALLY FOR IBBY DUES
In most NS, dues are considered part of the overall NS budget. However, in some cases, contributions are made directly for this purpose. What is worth noting is that through the twinning programme, some NS help others financially: The Dutch Section has regularly helped Uruguay with dues, and USBBY has paid membership dues for the IBBY sections in Lebanon and Palestine in 2007 and 2008, IBBY Haiti in 2008, and has helped IBBY South Africa by paying part of their dues in 2007 and 2008.
MEMBERSHIP FEES
Many NS count on membership fees as the most reliable and regular source of income for their work although in most cases the revenues from fees are quite minor compared to their outgoings. In many sections, there are different categories of membership fee. In IBBY Canada, for example, ‘patrons’ who are effectively sponsors pay the highest member fee. The same is true for the United States. Indonesian IBBY only has membership fees for their individual members. In general, membership fees are not high.
For some Sections, such as IBBY South Africa, membership fees constitute the large part of budget (90%) or the totality of the budget as in the case of IBBY Turkey.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Nearly half of the NS receive grants from their government. However, the majority receive them in an irregular way, and have to apply for them each time and usually for specific projects.
There are a few NS, such as Germany, Slovenia, Croatia and Denmark that get a large part, if not the totality, of their budget from the government.
Czech IBBY receives funds regularly from their Ministry of Culture for the section's Golden Ribbon annual competition.
IBBY Latvia receives special grants from the Ministry of Culture and the State Culture Capital Foundation (SCCF) to cover expenses incurred in connection with their international activities. They also receive support from some foreign embassies in Latvia, such as the embassies of Sweden, USA, as well as the British Council for specific activities.
Dutch IBBY also gets support from some embassies abroad.
GRANTS BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS
Some NS benefit from grants from organizations and institutions in the private and public sector. These contributions are often project-based. For most of the NS, these grants are minor and irregular, and often for a specific purpose or project. IBBY Croatia gets some sponsorship from editors, not as financial support but printing materials and donating prizes for their quizzes. IBBY Argentina gets financial support from some publishing houses and companies in exchange for services, including conducting reading promotion activities for children and/or teachers and librarians.
INDIVIDUAL SPONSORS AND DONORS
Generally speaking, donations from external individual sponsors are not the main source of income for the NS. Occasionally, often as a result of a fundraising campaign or for a specific or regular project, individual donations are received, but they rarely account for a significant part of the budget. However, for the NS of Iran, this represents an important source of income, accounting for 82% of its annual budget. The Dutch NS benefits from the inheritance of author Jenny Smelik by using the fund to administer an award that bears her name. KBBY currently receives financial support from Nami Island Inc. This amount accounts for 100% of their budget. IBBY Ukraine gets 100% of its budget from individual sponsors. IBBY New Zealand gets 50% of its budget from five organizations, four of which are publishing houses. IBBY Serbia receives financial support from two publishing houses and accounts for 75% of its annual budget.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM OTHER NS
The Latvian and Lithuanian Sections of IBBY have covered the accommodation and many other costs for Estonian participants in meetings and conferences organized by their sections. IBBY Cuba receives support for their annual dues and regional conferences from IBBY Canada.
PUBLICATIONS
Although many of the NS produce newsletters, bulletins, journals and other publications, these do not necessarily generate funds.
OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
One thing that is more or less consistent throughout the NS reports is what generates money when the section is not totally funded from the government or another institution. A main strategy is the sale of projects and services, all of them similar in nature: seminars, workshops, conferences, training of librarians, teachers and/or parents, assessment of libraries and development of reading-related projects. There are also other means, which have been successful.
IBBY Canada raises funds for IBBY Cuba through the Hot Hot Cuba event, which comprises an evening of live music, salsa dancing and a cash bar. Revenue is mainly generated through the ticket sales, and an auction of portrait painted by children’s book illustrators.
Czech IBBY has received posters donated by a graphic design studio for their Golden Ribbon competition.
JBBY organizes a travelling exhibtion of the Bologna Illustrators Exhibition at four or five museums in Japan every year. This income generates more than half of their annual budget.
IBBY Mexico (A Leer) runs successful Fundraising campaigns: Mis lecturas dibujadas (2006 and 2007) and Por si las moscas (2007). Artwork made by Mexican personaities and artists were autioned. These events raised not only funds, but also awareness of IBBY Mexcio's work by the consequent media coverage.
IBBY Norway gets almost 90% of annual budget from their Books of the Year lectures.
IBBY UK put any profit they get from their annual conference into the the budget. They also raise funds from the sale of Christmas cards designed by illustrators.

ACTIVITIES OF THE NS
Almost all of the NS organize national, regional or international meetings and conferences as part of their activities. A registration fee is normally charged to cover expenses, however, the emphasis of these events is not on the money they produce, but on the discussion of important issues related to the field. It is often the main activity of the NS.
Courses and seminars are also important activities for the NS. Addressed to writers, illustrators, teachers, librarians, parents, as well as the general public, these courses vary in their complexity and duration. In countries where there is no academic programme for Children’s Literature, these courses and seminars are the only instance where interested people can discuss related matters.
Exhibitions and attendance of local book fairs are also quite frequent. For example, JBBY regularly exhibits the IBBY Honour List and the Andersen Award winners’ books. IBBY Albania has organized exhibitions with drawings and paintings made by children, with topics concerning the subjects of their favourite books, children’s rights or free topics.
Prizes and contests are regularly organized. For instance, German IBBY organizes and presents its annual award: Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Youth Literature Award) and IBBY Lithuania administers 9 awards for authors, illustrators, translators and critics.
A few NS run libraries or bookstores. These sections include the IBBY Albania, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Greece, Iran, Korea, Mexico, Nepal, and Venezuela.
The overall picture is that, in spite of a pervasive lack of money, the great majority of the NS develop their activities, look for funding and work hard to maintain their status as important organizations in the field of children’s books. There is also a sense of pride in the reports and some NS have achieved important landmarks.
COMMUNICATION
The majority of the NS have websites or state their intention to develop one, and most have newsletters or magazines through which they communicate with their members and the interested public.
Quite a few of the reporting NS publish book selections, such as IBBY Austria, Brazil, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Iran, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United States and Venezuela. IBBY Mexico also publishes books.
Working with national media to promote activities is done by most of the NS.
DIFFERENT SECTIONS’ HIGHLIGHTS
The following are examples of the extent of the National Sections highlights that were reported as very successful activities in addition to their regular meetings, conferences, courses, seminars, exhibitions, fairs, awards and contests. For the full range of activities, go to the submitted report that can be downloaded from the Internet by clicking on the list of countries on page five of this summary.
Albania:
In 2007 the section organized an interesting project with the students of six schools of the Tirana suburbs that included various activities: meetings with writers; literature competitions for children; drawing and paintings competitions; establishing theatre groups in each school. The section also established a children and youth theatre group in the libraries, and held an accompanying exhibition of children’s drawings and paintings. A book was later published with the best stories and the children's own illustrations were put on the cover. The book was distributed for free in all the six schools.
Argentina:
Annual training courses in reading promotion strategies are an important source of income.

Colombia:
1. Reading in Family: IBBY Colombia continues to work on this programme, which invites parents to read with their children from the time they are born. To date they distributed more than 3,000 reading kits. The section has also created two other projects in connection with the main programme. Timely Time to Read where collections of books, purchased by SDIS, a public institution in Bogotá, are distributed to children in kindergartens from low-income families. The other new project is The Reading Party, developed with the ICBF, governmental organization, which reaches 3,800 children between 0 and 6 years, in 19 care centres. In both projects there is a major element of further training.
2. Palabrario: created in September 2006, is a project addressed to teachers, parents and children in the first three grades of elementary education to promote reading and writing. The section works in alliance with two other foundations (Corona and Genesis), and the Universidad the Antioquia. Between 2006 and 2008 17,500 students, 454 teachers, and 24 educative centres in five towns benefited from the project.

Latvia:
Latvian IBBY helps to organize the annual national reading promotion programme "Children’s Jury", in co-operation with the Children’s Literature Centre of the National Library of Latvia. In 2006 Latvian IBBY developed the White Wolf’s Books programme, which includes many activities and awards for children's literature. The programme is executed in co-operation with the Children’s Literature Centre of the National Library, the State Culture Capital Foundation, banks and other sponsors.

Mexico:
Four more Bunkos were opened during the reporting period, two of them in rural, marginalized municipalities in the states of Zacatecas and Chiapas. The other two were opened in Mexico City, one in a rehabilitation centre for under-age offenders and the last in one of IBBY Mexico facilities. In addition twelve Bunkos were placed inside school shelters that support the local Indian population. The reading promotion project Nostotros entre libros (Us among books) uses volunteer participation. Starting the semester 2008-2009 IBBY Mexico has 750 volunteers, who will visit 15,000 children. This growth is possible since the Ministry of Education (Secretaría de Educación Pública) is supporting the project in order to run a pilot project, depending on the results this project could turn into a nationwide programme for the reading promotion policies established by the government.
Moldova:
In 2008 the My Gift to My Library campaign asked children and adults to donate new books to local public libraries.

COOPERATION WITH IBBY: INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Most of the National Sections feel a pride in belonging to IBBY and participate in at least one of IBBY’s international activities.
CONGRESSES AND GENERAL ASSEMBLIES 2006 and 2008
In the following table (4) all NS are included, not only those that returned their completed Biennial Report, to give a full picture of NS participation. The NS which submitted their reports are distinguished by an asterisk (*).
The 2006 IBBY General Assembly was held at the 30th IBBY Congress in Macau, China. 54 NS were represented: 45 directly and by 9 by proxy.
The 2008 IBBY General Assembly was held at the 31 IBBY Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark. 59 NS were represented: 55 directly and 4 by proxy.
The biennial IBBY congress is the main international IBBY activity in which NS participate. However, the financial cost of participating in congresses remains the main reason for absences.
INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S BOOK DAY (ICBD)
Although not all the NS celebrate ICBD, there are many that hold a big event or a series of events around the 2nd of April. Among these IBBY Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungry, Iceland, India, Iran, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, New Zealand, Peru, Romania, Palestine, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay and Venezuela are very active. The sections of Slovakia, New Zealand and Thailand sponsored the ICBD 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively.
The activities that are held often take place in schools and libraries, and include meetings with authors and illustrators; contests; readings and storytelling; exhibitions; conferences and lectures. Most of them use the message and poster from the sponsoring National Section.
IBBY Greece is always successful with the activities to mark the ICBD. On the NS’s request, the Ministry of Education sends a circular to all Greek schools recommending the celebration of ICBD with activities such as book-fairs, meet-the-author events, animations etc. Inquiries from schools and libraries are answered with information about what type of activities can be organized for this event. The ICBD materials are distributed to all the schools in Greece. Furthermore, through its members the NS participates in lectures to parents and students, as well as radio/TV programmes.
The NS of Lebanon, Moldova each organize a National Reading Week in April.

COOPERATION WITH IBBY: AWARD and HONOUR NOMINATIONS
The following and table (5) give an overview of all National Section nominations for the IBBY awards or honours. The table includes those countries that did not submit their individual biennial reports, but nonetheless made nominations during the reporting period. The reporting NS are distinguished by an asterisk (*).
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AWARDS – AUTHORS AND ILLUSTRATORS
The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are presented biennially to an author and an illustrator whose complete works have made an important contribution to children’s literature. This is the highest international distinction given to an author and an illustrator of children’s books. They are acknowledged as the most widely known of IBBY’s activities. Between 1992 and 2008 Awards have been sponsored by the Nissan Motor Co., Japan.
In 2006, the winners were author Margaret Mahy from New Zealand, and illustrator Wolf Erlbruch from Germany. In 2008, they were author Jürg Schubiger from Switzerland, and illustrator Roberto Innocenti from Italy.
The main reason that many NS did not participate in the Andersen Awards during the reporting period is the high cost of preparing the nominations. The unlikelihood of winning the award, scarce translation of literary works into other languages, low level of literature, the relative immaturity of their country’s book industry, publication restrictions are some other reasons for their omission.
(Full details of the winners and nominees can be found in the special issues of Bookbird: volume 44, issue 4, 2006; and volume 46, issues 2 and 4, 2008, and at )
IBBY HONOUR LIST
The IBBY Honour List is a selection of outstanding recently published books. The Honour List distinguishes authors, illustrators and translators whose work is particularly representative of their country and encourages their publication in other countries or languages.
In 2006, the IBBY Honour List included 164 titles (67 authors, 54 illustrators and 43 translators). In 2008, there were 69 authors, 54 illustrators and 46 translators nominated: a record number of 169 entries from 59 countries in 48 different languages!
(The HL catalogues are available from the IBBY Secretariat and on line at )
IBBY-ASAHI READING PROMOTION AWARD
The IBBY-Asahi Reading Promotion Award was established in 1986 during the IBBY Congress in Tokyo and is sponsored by the Japanese Asahi Shimbun newspaper company. Until 2004 the Award was given annually to a group or institution whose outstanding activities were judged to be making a lasting contribution to reading promotion programmes for children and young people. Starting from the year 2006 the Award has been given biennially to two groups or institutions.
The nominations are submitted by the National Sections of IBBY and may include projects from any part of the world. The jury consists of members of the IBBY Executive Committee. The prize of US$ 10,000 and a diploma are presented to each of the winners at the biennial IBBY Congress
In 2006, the project Mongolian Children’s Mobile Library Project, nominated by IBBY Mongolia, and the project National Campaign ‘All of Poland Reads to Kids’, nominated by IBBY Poland were the two recipients of the Award.
In 2008, the project The Reading Promotion Project by Action with Lao Children, proposed by IBBY Japan, and Editions Bakame, Books for Children in Rwanda proposed by IBBY Switzerland, supported by IBBY Germany and IBBY Netherlands were given the Award.
(Detailed information about the award can be found on IBBY’s website: )
OUTSTANDING BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
In 1985, IBBY established the Documentation Centre of Books for Disabled Young People in Oslo. The Centre’s collection includes books and materials specifically created for young readers with special needs. These include donations and recommendations from National Sections, publishers and individuals. In 2002, the Centre moved and was established at the Haug Municipal Resource Centre for Young People with Disabilities, in Baerum/Oslo under the leadership of Heidi Cortner Boiesen.
The Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities Selections can be found in annotated catalogues, available from the IBBY Secretariat, and can be downloaded from the IBBY website: .

Lack of financial means, resources, time and personnel are the main reasons for the less active, wide-ranging, large-scale and frequent cooperation between the NS, as most of the members of NS work for IBBY on voluntary basis. In some cases language barriers, visa problems, restrictions on travel, geographical distance, and a volatile or oppressive political situation are the main obstacles. It has been suggested that IBBY members need more opportunities to meet each other at congresses, regional conferences, etc. to start initial contact that could lead to closer cooperation between members.
