Children aged 3 to 5 years and their caregivers are invited to Margaret River Public Library to celebrate National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday 21 May at 10am to read The Truck Cat by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell.

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, family day cares, childcare centres, bookshops, family homes 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, 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.

More information on National Simultaneous Storytime can be found at the ALIA website: www.alia.org.au/nss

There is no need to book in for this special event however if you have any questions contact Rachael on rdrummond@amrshire.wa.gov.au
