National Simultaneous Story Time

Every year libraries and schools across the nation join together in a reading a simultaneous reading of a children's picture book selected by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). This year's book is The beautiful Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker. Join us in a reading at Cranbourne Library.

"Bowerbird Blues stars a beautiful bowerbird on the search for (you guessed it) BLUE! It’s a moving story of longing and connection, that unfolds as the bowerbird’s search sends him soaring across the sea, sky, and city. He swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, and soon his bower – a mix of natural and unnatural objects – attracts something greater and more fulfilling than he could ever have imagined." - ALIA
