The mission of the Albany Children's Book Festival is to nurture literacy in school-aged children. We aim to encourage, promote, and celebrate the joy of reading, while fostering a love of books, stimulating imaginations, and opening new worlds to them.

Our vision is to become the premier literacy event in the Albany area. We hope to continue to grow and develop into a community event that inspires the region's children to read, write, and explore the world of books. It is our belief that every child, in every community should have access to books to explore, learn from, and to trigger their imaginations.
