National Reconciliation Week is here, and this year’s theme, All In, is a powerful call to action for every one of us.

Reconciliation is not a spectator sport. It is an ongoing commitment to listening, learning, and showing up for First Nations voices every single day. Whether it’s acknowledging Country, educating ourselves on our shared history, or championing Indigenous-led stories, we all have a role to play.

Here at Cooktown Library, we’re proud to showcase a fantastic display of Indigenous books and works by First Nations authors, celebrating culture, storytelling, history, and connection. We encourage everyone to come in, explore the collection, and support First Nations voices through reading and learning.

This National Reconciliation Week, let’s step off the sidelines and go all in together.

This May, we’re reading Luna Roo the Kangaroo Ballerina for National Simultaneous Storytime!

On 27 May at 12 noon, families across Australia are encouraged to share in the same story together to celebrate the magic of reading.

Many local libraries and Indigenous Knowledge Centres are taking part with special storytime events and activities for little ones. Check with your local library or Indigenous Knowledge Centre to see what’s happening near you and join in the fun.
