National Simultaneous Storytime


Don't forget to come and participate in the National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday morning at 11am at your local library. We want to join thousands of children Australia wide who will be reading the same book at the same time.

This year we are reading The Wrong Book by Nick Bland. In this book you can enjoy the frustrations of poor Nicholas as he is trying so hard to tell his story ... but ... keeps getting interrupted. Just what is a boy to do when he is crowded by rats, pirates, a queen .. and well, countless other fun characters?

Come a little early and join in our other storytime activities beforehand. We hope you can join us.

National Simultaneous Storytime


Join us for the National Simultaneous Storytime at your local Campbelltown City Library on Wednesday 22 May 2012 at 11:00am . All of our branches will be joining organisations Australia wide, reading the picture book The Wrong Book by Nick Bland.

In the book, Nicholas Ickle is trying to tell us a story, but he keeps getting interrupted by characters from other stories - a pirate, a queen, even some monsters! To get a chance to tell his story, he has to convince the others that they are in the wrong book.  Come and join us to see what happens.

We hope you can join us for this very special storytime and be one of the thousands listening to the same book at the same time.

For more information please ring the Children’s Librarian on 4645 4554.
