National Simultaneous Storytime

Join us for a beautiful read-along of Josh Pyke and Ronojoy Ghosh’s Family tree as part of National Simultaneous Storytime. A heartfelt celebration of a family and community who are united through the growth of a tree.

This session is best suited for children under 5 years, and their parents/carers​.

Why not spend the whole morning at the Library? There are plenty of activities to enjoy, including yoga with your little ones in Playdate at the Library, 10.30am and 11.30am.  

Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter, supported by Gandel Foundation, is a purpose-built space for children and families to read, learn and play, with an associated program of activities.

State Library Victoria Cultural, Family & Student members get early access to our upcoming events. To get your tickets ahead of the crowd, become a member today.
