Hats off to National Simultaneous Storytime Isaac kids joined more than half a million children across Australia to read ‘I Got this Hat’ for the 2016 National Simultaneous Storytime.
National Simultaneous Storytime is organised by the Australian Library and Information Association, and is in its 16th year.
The book, by Jol and Kate Temple and illustrated by Jon Foye, was the feather in the cap for events held nationally on Wednesday May 25.
The event promotes the value of reading and literacy, the importance of Australia’s book industry and the role libraries play in our communities.
Parents and children enjoyed activities from creating crazy hats to reading throughout the week.

Events were held at Carmila, Clermont, Dysart, Glenden, Nebo, Middlemount, Moranbah, and St Lawrence libraries.
