Join us and children all across Australia and New Zealand for National Simultaneous Story Time 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 centres, 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.
Children must be supervised by a responsible person (adult, carer, teacher) in our library programs.
If you require assistance, please contact library staff.
