ALIA National simultaneous storytime 2018 to be celebrated across Australia and New Zealand


For the 1st time ever New Zealand has been invited to join in

Get ready to read together across two nations

Wednesday 23rd May 2018 1pm NZ time

At the Tamahere School Library


National Simultaneous Storytime (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 18th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
By facilitating NSS we aim to:
  • promote the value of reading and literacy,
  • promote the value and fun of books,
  • promote an Australian writer and publisher,
  • promote storytime activities in public libraries and communities around the country,
  • and provide opportunities to involve parents, grandparents, the media and others to participate in and enjoy the occasion.
NSS receives positive media coverage, generates a great deal of community interest and is held annually as part of Library and Information Week. 2017 was our biggest and most successful NSS to date with 686,324 participants at over 6,129 locations.

Welcome to the new student lunchtime librarians for 2018

Our school library is open every lunchtime. Students can come along and read, play chess or find a quiet place just to be. Our year 6 senior students have the important roll of looking after the library at this time.
