Owen Rowlands and Isaac Vogan showing off their Brother’s Quibble cardboard crowns during National Simultaneous Storytime at Clermont Library
Kids quibble and giggle at national simultaneous storytime It’s a library storytime like no other – kids gathered across the nation including at Isaac libraries to all read the same story book ‘The Brother’s Quibble’ by Aaron Blabey for National Simultaneous Storytime. Held nationally on Wednesday May 27, National Simultaneous Storytime events were enjoyed throughout last week by parents and children in Moranbah, Nebo, Middlemount, Dysart, Clermont, Glenden and Carmila libraries. Isaac Libraries bought ‘The Brother’s Quibble’ to life through a number of fun
children’s activities including making daisy chains and playing with green goo as well as making brown paper crowns, like the ones the characters wear in the book. Organised by the Australian Library and Information Association, the event in its 15th year, promotes the value of reading and literacy, the importance of Australia’s book industry and the role libraries play in our communities.
