Wednesday 26 May2010 ~ National Simultaneous Storytime []


 * National Simultaneous Storytime** is a campaign organised by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), in which a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously to children in a variety of venues around Australia.

This campaign promotes the value of books and encourages young people to read, share books and become involved in other fun and engaging literary based activities. The campaign is an integral part of promoting the value of reading and literacy within Australian society.

The Australian Library and Information Association organises National Simultaneous Storytime in May every year, during ALIA's Library and Information Week. The first event was in 2001.
