Happy National Simultaneous Storytime Day!
At exactly 12pm today, we had the pleasure of joining millions of children, parents, teachers and library lovers across Australia and beyond in reading the same book at the exact time, celebrating the joy of reading, storytelling and connection.
Now in its 26th year, National Simultaneous Storytime stands as one of Australia’s biggest collective reading events, with over 2.2 million participants joining from more than 16,600 locations last year.
We hosted over 80 people at the Maryborough Library to read 'Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller' by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton.
Children also enjoyed putting their own soccer skills to the test and creating crafty wooden balls and jerseys to take home.
Thanks to all who joined us!
Shout out to Maryborough Toy Library for the lend of the soccer nets.

ON TOMORROW!

TRAM: BOOK TALK WITH GREG GARDINER
Wednesday 20th May 2026
2.30-3.30pm
Maryborough Library
This is a free event, all welcome.
Afternoon tea supplied. Bookings are not required.
Copies of TRAM will be available to purchase.
TRAM is a work of creative non-fiction, combining history, memoir and imagination. It’s a new history of Melbourne’s tramways, from their beginnings in the 1880s to today, designed for people who love trams, the city of Melbourne and its history. More than this, it is a book of stories, stories about trams and generated by trams: how trams have threaded their way through the life of the city, and how central they have been to its development.
There are portraits of the key people, now largely forgotten, who created and developed our unique network.
As the narrator travels the system you also meet other tram travellers – a young existentialist on route 57, the surfer on number 72, an artist who painted the 48, the grief counsellor on route 11, and many more.
The reader is also taken on time journeys: meeting ‘Ellie’ to learn how to drive a W class tram, travelling in a cable car to Clifton Hill with ‘Paddy’, the gripman, joining beach-lovers to the Tramways Baths, visiting the North Fitzroy tram workshops. Trams make stories, about people, places, and events - as the narrator travels he remembers his childhood journeys with his mother on the old green trams.
TRAM recognises Melbourne’s Indigenous history, and how our system traverses the traditional lands of First Nations’ peoples, the Wurundjeri-Woiwurrung and the Bunurong. Many of today’s tram tracks follow the contours of the original Indigenous tracks.
TRAM is a love letter to Melbourne, a serious work of history, supported by years of research. The author is the former head of research in the Victorian Parliamentary Library, and was, much earlier, a tram driver for the M&MTB. TRAM has been receiving great reviews, with one stating; “I just loved this book, the people, the machines, the aspiration and inspiration, the history, the extraordinaryness layered under the ordinaryness of my familiar places. Who would have thought ? I certainly didn't until I read this.”
