The great youth book fair in Berry, at the Albert Camus Media Library
Every year at the end of January and the beginning of February, the Albert Camus Media Library in Issoudun hosts the youth book fair "À vos Livres !". This literary event, organized by the City of Issoudun and E.P.C.C.I., offers meetings with authors and illustrators of youth literature, signing sessions, free shows, fun activities, and contests for children. In 2026, the fair celebrates its 34th edition.
The "À vos Livres !" book fair is the unmissable event for youth literature in the Indre region. Organized annually by the City of Issoudun, the Albert Camus Media Library, and E.P.C.C.I. (Public Establishment for Cultural Cooperation of Issoudun), this fair has welcomed renowned authors and illustrators for over thirty years in a warm and accessible setting. In 2026, the event celebrates its 34th edition.
The heart of the fair lies in the meetings with authors and illustrators of youth literature. The invited creators interact with the public during signing sessions and open discussions. These special moments allow young readers and their parents to discover the creative process of a book, from text conception to illustration, and to leave with a signed copy.
Beyond literary encounters, the fair offers a rich program of free entertainment specifically designed for children: live shows related to literature, creative and fun workshops, book-themed games, and contests with prizes to be won. These activities aim to develop a taste for reading in the youngest and to make books a source of pleasure and sharing.
Each edition of the fair is accompanied by a thematic exhibition presented at the Albert Camus Media Library. In 2026, the exhibition "Les fourmis" (Ants) invites visitors to explore this theme through illustrations, albums, and original creations. The exhibition is accessible during and after the fair, extending the cultural experience beyond the event weekend.
The "À vos Livres !" fair is open from Friday to Sunday, with author meet-and-greets on Friday from 4 PM to 6 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM and from 2 PM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM and from 2 PM to 5 PM. Admission is free, making this event a moment of cultural sharing accessible to all families from Berry and beyond.
