A YEAR LONG CHILDREN'S
LITERATURE FESTIVAL
NLF Imaginary Lines will draw and redraw our experiences through stories. The more our children read, the farther their minds will stretch and push against the fictitious boundaries we have set for ourselves. Whether you choose to draw the line or cross one, let’s throw each other a line, thus blurring the lines that divide us and forge those that connect us to one another.
Join us for a series of online events celebrating NLF Imaginary Lines which will be held digitally this year. Everything interesting is between the lines!
