Founded in Switzerland in 1953, the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) promotes children's literature globally. Present in over 80 countries, it organizes congresses, awards like the Hans Christian Andersen Award, and supports reading initiatives.

The 39th congress will take place in Trieste from August 30 to September 1, 2024, focusing on "Join the Revolution! Giving Every Child Good Books." An international poster competition aims to highlight the right to quality reading for all children.
