National Simultaneous Storytime

Recommended all ages 

Join us for National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS), a joyful nationwide reading event where children and families gather to share the same story at the same time. 

This year, we’re excited to welcome the Hon. John-Paul Langbroek, Minister for Education and the Arts, for a special reading of Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller, written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd and illustrated by Jake Minton. 

Follow Luna Roo as she leads her team onto the pitch, facing nerves, fierce opponents and big challenges along the way. It’s a story about courage, teamwork and giving it your all. 

We’ll be joining libraries, schools and communities across the country to bring this story to life. Stay and play after the story with special themed activities. 

National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), celebrating Australian stories and the joy of reading together. 

Purchase your very own copy of Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller from the Library Shop.
