including a Roald Dahl themed Treasure Hunt, craft sessions in the Cardiff

Cardiff University is hosting some of the events, and in Cardiff UniversityLibrary Special Collections (SCOLAR) they are putting on an exhibition celebrating the history of children's literature, from the 17th century up to the 20th century. They are looking at the chronological development of children's literature by highlighting several themes such as books for education and fantasy literature.
The Library has gathered items from SCOLAR's collections, including the
Children's Literature Collection which can be seen in part in the glass
cases at the entrance to SCOLAR, and from the modern children's literature
collection held in the main part of the library. Items from the modern
collection are also being utilised in a display on level 1 of the library
(ASSL), where readers can vote for their favourite children's novel.The exhibition is available online and at the Arts and Social Sciences Library, Colum Road from March-May 2013
Cardiff Metropolitan University undergraduate students may access Cardiff
University Collections through a reciprocal scheme. Postgraduates through SCONUL Access. See details here
