It’s nearly time for one of the highlights of the library calendar! National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is an annual event held in Australia and New Zealand where libraries, schools and childcares read the same book at the same time.
This year, National Simultaneous Storytime is on Wednesday 24 May. NSS is a great opportunity for everyone to come together and celebrate reading, storytelling and Australian literature. The book chosen for this year’s event is The speedy sloth written by Rebecca Young and illustrated by Heath McKenzie. Event details are still being finalised so keep an eye out for NSS events at your local library!
Don’t forget that the Mount Morgan Library has four internet enabled computers, a printer/copier and free WiFi for your laptops and devices. Library staff are happy to help you get connected and tech savvy.
