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, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can younger/older siblings come too?

Siblings are welcome, but must also be supervised. Children ages 8 weeks to 5 years are able to use Toddler Town Creche. Older siblings may enjoy using the Children's area of the library.

Can I decide on the day if we are coming to the Library or participating online?

Absolutely! If you're unsure what will work for you, please register for both events.
