Atrapallibres Awards for Children´s Literature
The ClijCAT holds the Award for Children´s Literature ‘Atrapallibres’ (Catch-a-book) with the aim of stimulating imaginative reading in children.
With this goal, a team of experts in children´s literature select three categories of books in Catalan and present them to all primary schools and libraries in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the region of Valencia.
The selection
is taken from books published between July of the previous year and
June of the year in which the awards are held.
The objective
of the Award for Children´s Literature ‘Atrapallibres’ is
for as many children as possible to read the selected books. They
then form a jury in each school or library where they present and defend
the books in front of their peers and the book which seems the best to
them is chosen. The idea is for the children´s voices to
be heard, giving them an opportunity to act as juror with consequences
beyond the school and the library.
