📚✨ What a wonderful day of reading, literacy and community! ✨📚

Yesterday, all of our libraries joined the National Simultaneous Storytime celebration, an event which has children and families across Australia all read the same story on the same day.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so fun, from our wonderful families and enthusiastic little readers to the family centre staff and childcare educators who partnered with us. 💛

Events like these are a beautiful reminder of the joy that reading together can bring. 📖

We hope everyone loved listening to "𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫" and sharing in the magic of storytelling together.
We can’t wait for next year’s special story to be announced!
