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, family day cares, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country.
Students will read and discuss the same book - Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker. Kids all around Australia and NZ will be reading this book during the week of May 22.
This shared experience is a great way to develop a community of readers.
