About this opportunity

This is a Norwegian book acquisition program managed by the Arts Council Norway (Kulturrådet) that purchases new Norwegian non-fiction books for children and young people for distribution to public libraries. The purpose is to ensure that new Norwegian non-fiction of high quality for children and young people is created, published, distributed and read. Publishers with Norwegian organization numbers can apply to have eligible books purchased. Books must be new Norwegian non-fiction (literary original works about reality), either written in Norwegian (bokmål, nynorsk or dialect), translated from Sami or a national minority language, or translated from another language if it's an original work not previously published. The book must be published in the application year. An evaluation committee assesses applications based on literary quality, whether the book is suitable for children and young people as target audience, artistic and linguistic quality, and proper editorial work. Selected books are purchased in quantities of 1,940-2,020 printed copies plus 70 e-book licenses for distribution to Norwegian public libraries.
