National Simultaneous Storytime 2019

National Simultaneous Storytime is an annual event held by the Australian Library and Information Association.

Every year a picture book, by an Australian children's author/illustrator is read simultaneously in libraries, schools,

pre-schools and childcare centres around Australia, as part of Australia's Library and Information Week.

As part of the whole experience of National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday 22nd May,  the students will be participating in a variety of activities based around the book for this year, 'Alpacas With Maracas' written /illustrated by Matt Cosgrove.  It is also on Story Box Library to view.  

In the Library we have a competition about the Author.  The question is:

Where was Matt Cosgrove born?
