Our Story

50 Years of Inspiring
Young Readers

Founded in 1975 by a group of determined parents, Aldbourne Children’s Book Group began as a campaign for children’s books in the local library.

Today, we are a thriving, volunteer-led charity connecting families, schools, and the wider community through storytelling, creative workshops, and author events.

ACBG members fund school visits, book donations, creative workshops, and storytelling sessions, bringing literacy and joy to children across the area.

New members are always welcome. Join us and be part of our story!
