Kommission für Kinder- und Jugendliteratur#

Kommission fuer Kinder- und Jugendliteratur (Commission for childrens' and youth literature), established in 1947 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, composed of representatives of organisations for young people, authors, publishers and school authorities, originally called "Oesterreichische Jugendschriftorganisation" (renamed in 1948). It promotes children's and young people's literature by working out principles for critics, lists of recommended works and by choosing the book of the month. Reviews of recommended books are published in the journal "Tausend und ein Buch".
