National Simultaneous Storytime @ Narellan Library




Tomorrow 170,000 Australian children will read the same book at the same time.

It’s fun, it’s feathery and at 11am tomorrow, Wednesday, May 25, it will have at least 170,548 children spellbound. It’s "Feathers for Phoebe" by Rod Clement, this year’s book selection for National Simultaneous Storytime.

Narellan Library will be holding National Simultaneous Storytime at 11am during our regular storytime session.

A feature event in the Australian Library and Information Week (ALIA) calendar, National Simultaneous Storytime is Australia’s biggest single storytelling event. It is celebrated in schools, public libraries, kindergartens, childcare centres and bookshops. This year, 1,102 simultaneous readings will take part across the nation, including, for the first time, children with vision and hearing impairments, and children in detention centres.


You can now download an animated, fully-voiced podcast of “Feathers for Phoebe” in different media formats for display on Interactive White Boards and Data Projectors.
