NORLA to the Bologna Book Fair

NORLA is also participating at this year’s children’s book fair in Bologna, Italy.
In addition, the Norwegian book industry will be gathered on a large, shared exhibition stand at the book fair. You will find us in Hall 30, stand E13!
Contact us if you would like to arrange a meeting.

Covers for Norwegian children and young-adults books, published abroad with translation support from NORLA (as of 2011), can be found on our Flickr profile.
