National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is a reading event that is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) of which the Hawkesbury Library Service is a member. It aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. This year the book is 'Bowerbird Blues' written by Aura Parker and published by Scholastic Australia.
