Get reading – National Simultaneous Storytime is today at 11am!

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…or anywhere that you like to read! This event is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), and is celebrating it’s 18th year today.

This years’ simultaneous storytime picture book is the gorgeous Hickory Dickory Dash, written by Booked Out Speaker Tony Wilson, and illustrated by Laura Wood.

All you need to do to get involved is read Hickory Dickory Dash at 11am (AEST). Register your school, library or organisation here: alia.org.au/nss
