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
Amy is a young New Zealander who has fallen in love with Australian wildlife. Passionate about art she has been drawing since she was a young child.
Her exhibition features quirky depictions of animals and mammals exploring dot work, black pen on paper.
Amy has always been interested in producing art that is outside the box. This is why she has called her exhibition DUST. “Dust meaning dots.”
Art calms Amy’s mind. “It’s like being in a loud room, then as soon as my pen hits the paper, the room is quiet and peaceful.”
These framed pen and ink drawings can be viewed in the entry to the Margaret River Library Cocoon Gallery space until the end of June and all artworks are for sale directly from the artist.
