It will also benefit from access to the international publishing community, together
with help in marketing, PR and social media.

## Last year’s charity of the year

Last year the London Book Fair Charity of the Year 2014 was Book Aid International.

Alison Hubert, Director of Book Aid International said:

> “In the year of our 60th anniversary, being The London Book Fair Charity of the
> Year in 2014 was a wonderful opportunity. The exposure that the partnership with
> LBF gave us was invaluable for building and strengthening relationships with the
> publishing sector. Thanks to UK publishers, this year we hope to be able to send
> libraries in Africa close to one million new, relevant books.”
