The children’s book, Arthur, written by Amanda Graham and illustrated by Donna Gynell, will be read simultaneously at participating organisations. There is an impressive list of intending participants.
An initiative of the Australian Library and Information Association, National Simultaneous Storytime is aimed at promoting the value of reading and literacy, highlighting the importance of Australia’s book industry and the role of libraries.
