This morning at 11 am, library staff at our three libraries joined 2 million adults and children across Australia and New Zealand, to simultaneously read Family Tree by Josh Pyke (illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh.)
While we read the book via Webex, it was also being read at 32,000 other locations, in schools, libraries, workplaces and other community settings.
The aim of NSS includes promoting the value of reading and literacy in a fun and inclusive way, while also promoting an Australian writer and publisher.
The Family Tree is available for loan from the Library along with other picture books that help support the Early Childhood Education programme at Holmesglen.
