National Simultaneous Storytime – 22 May 2019

Posted on

QUT Library will be participating again this year so save the date!

National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country.

This year the book is Alpacas with Maracas written and illustrated by Matt Cosgrove and QUT Library has copies here.

Follow this Facebook link to check out this super cute photo of author Matt with his book and two very gorgeous fluffy alpacas!

Stay tuned for further details…
