Across Australia, storytime groups will gather to read the same book at the same time on the same day as part of this annual national literacy campaign. This year’s story is The Very Cranky Bear by Nick Bland, a wonderful Australian tale about friendship, sacrifice and learning that appearances aren’t important. For ages 3 - 5. A Library and Information Week event.
