History

GÁLIX is the Galician Association for Children’s and Young Adults’ Books. We are a non-profit association founded in 1989 with the aim of giving visibility and promoting the Galician culture and language through children’s and young adults’ literature.

All agents of the book world are involved in GÁLIX: writers, translators, designers, illustrators, publishers, researches, critics, librarians and bookshops. GÁLIX performs many activities such as advocacy initiatives, advisory services either to entities or to individuals, as well as management in sectors inside and outside of Galicia and representation in state and international organisations.

GÁLIX is the Galician section of the Spanish Organisation for Children´s and Young Adults´ Books (OEPLI in its Spanish form).
