It's Non-fiction November, and we’re celebrating with plenty of exciting updates for our SLA Information Book Award. On 23rd November we will be finding out the winners of our 2023 IBA. But, first, we’re delighted to announce that entries for our 2024 Information Book Award are now open! Our shelves are ready and waiting to be filled with the best children's non-fiction of 2023. As always, we’re not just calling on publishers to nominate their titles. To make sure that your favourite book this year is in for the running, why not contact the publisher yourself to let them know about the award and why it’s worth nominating for? Publishers can go to sla.org.uk/information-book-award to find out how to enter their best titles before the deadline on 20th December 2023. Don't forget to keep an eye on our socials on 23rd November to find out the 2023 winners, or find out live by booking a ticket to watch the ceremony online.
