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: www.ibby.org.
