Eden Public School participated with a colourful book character parade in celebration of the week-long annual event.
Teacher Librarian Jenny Cocks said The Children's Book Council of Australia initiated the event in 1945, in part to celebrate Austrailan authors and illustrators.
"Basically, Book Week promotes the love of reading, encouraging kids to read as a pastime, rather than an emphasis on reading for information alone.
"We've been doing lots of activities in their library sessions and have had competitions running for poster and bookmark designs, and picture books," she said.
The winners for these competitions were announced, along with a winner for each class in the book character parade.
