Join us and children all across Australia and New Zealand for National Simultaneous Storytime 2025! Recommended age: Preschool.

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 25th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy. 

Bookings are recommended to save your place in the program.

Please cancel your booking if you are no longer able to attend so we can contact our waitlist.

Bookings close one day prior to the session. If you require assistance, please contact library staff.

Children must be supervised by a responsible person (adult or carer) in our libraries and our programs.

About the Library

Library services first began in Belmont in 1885. Our current library was officially opened on 28 October 1982 by the Hon FN Wilkes MP, Minister for Local Government and his Worship the Mayor, Cr PF Ward JP. The building was renovated in 2010 making it a modern, pleasing and community-centric library environment. The renovated library was officially opened by the Hon Richard Wynne MP, Minister for Local Government. Belmont Library is a large and busy hub within easy reach of the High Street commercial precinct.
