Immerse yourself in the joy of reading! Children’s books in English, German, French (and more!) for ages 0 to 15 will be on sale at our Global Book Fair on Saturday 2nd October from 10am to 2pm. Invite a friend to come and bring the kids for a fun day out. We look forward to welcoming you to our schoolhouse and playground at Freiestrasse 175, 8032 Zurich where you can browse our great selection of books of all genres. We will also be kicking off the Children First 15 year anniversary celebrations with activities for children up to 9 years old including Playball, art, storytelling and origami.

Children First’s bookfair is open to the public and proceeds go to Room to Read, a global non-profit organization promoting literacy in regions of Africa and Asia especially among young girls.
