National Simultaneous Storytime
National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) will be held on Wednesday May 22. It is an important event in the Library calendar as it reminds us of the many benefits of reading aloud to children of all ages. There will be several locations where students will be able to listen to the story being read aloud at first break. This year’s story is The Truck Cat written by Deborah Frenkel. It is a beautifully illustrated story that centres around the themes of longing and connection.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you have a cat, we’d love a photo of it, either by itself or with your children. It will become part of our Library display for National Simultaneous Storytime. Please email your photos to: smatt48@eq.edu.au
