Welcome to IBBY 2012
Welcome to the website for the 33rd IBBY International Congress, entitled Crossing Boundaries: Translations and Migrations, which was held at Imperial College, London, from 23rd to 26th August 2012. We are grateful to Arts Council England and to our other sponsors for their generous support for this congress.
