National Simultaneous Storytime
Wednesday, 25 May 2022 at 11:00am
NSS is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). 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. Now in its 22nd successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy.
The book for 2022 NSS is “Family Tree” by Josh Pyke and Ronojoy Ghosh.
