National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association. 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. Scholastic is proud to support ALIA and this wonderful initiative, which celebrates reading and children’s literacy.

In 2017, 686,324 children at 6,129 events across Australia took part in National Simultaneous Storytime!

This event provides an opportunity to involve parents, grandparents, the media and others to participate in and enjoy National Simultaneous Storytime in your home!
