LIBRARY INFORMATION

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS): Wednesday 22 May 2024 

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centers, family homes, bookshops, and many other places around the country. Now in its 24th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.

On Wednesday 22^nd May we all listened to the story Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker as part of National Simultaneous Storytime.

If you would like to listen to it at home, there are plenty of videos on YouTube or you can choose the video below.
