National Simultaneous Storytime

Published on 29 April 2026

Join in on the fun of National Simultaneous Storytime as we read the same book across Australia.

We invite you to join us on Wednesday 27 May, 10.30-11am, at Toorak/South Yarra and Greville Street libraries for a special Storytime celebrating reading, imagination and connection.

This year's featured book is Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller by football veterans Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton.

This lively story follows Luna, a spirited young kangaroo, and her friends as they chase their football dreams across the outback. Filled with action, teamwork and plenty of fun, Luna Roo’s messages of courage and determination will inspire younger readers.

Luna wears the colours of the Matildas, but you can come dressed in your favourite team's colours.

Best suited to children aged 3 years and over, but younger siblings are welcome. This is a free event and no bookings are required. Children under 12 years must be supervised by a responsible adult.

The book will be read throughout the week during our regularly scheduled Storytime sessions.
