“Libo” is Children’s Literature Development Fund that was founded in 2006 by children’s writers Irma Malatsidze and Mariam Tsiklauri in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The word “Libo” is interpreted as foundation/base, so it is clear what will be the goals and sphere of action of this fund.

The necessity to establish the literature fund in Georgia was caused by the recently created attitude towards Georgian children’s writers and children’s literature during last 15-20 years in our country. In spite of general development and flourish of publishing activities, the Georgian writers meet many problems, like: book publishing, popularization of writers, managing book reading policy, children’s literature competitions and etc. so we, who are involved in the sphere of literature decided to solve these problems by ourselves, though it is not so much easy. The fund is trying to fulfill the vacuum that exists in the sphere of children’s literature, between literature and parents, teachers, librarians and helps all interested ones to follow the live process of development Literature of children.

During its five years of existence, the fund organized and arranged many interesting events that were followed by achieving of the definite results. The fund managed to pay the society attention to existed problems in children’s literature. Today we have many interesting new ideas and suggestions which, in case of its implementation, will manifestly help not only Georgian writers, but readers (children). It should be mentioned, that moral support beside financial one is playing great role in literature development process while formation of society opinion toward to this or that specific question. The fund is strongly supported by children’s writers of all age that are actively involved in its activities as it’s the only way of solution of common problem. Our site will offer various interesting materials.
