Canberra Health Services is proud to take part in National Simultaneous Storytime , a nationwide celebration of reading co-ordinated by the Australian Library and Information Association.

National Simultaneous Storytime brings millions of children, families, schools and libraries together to share the same story at the same time.

This year’s book is called Luna Roo: The Kangaroo Baller, and will be virtually shared by former Matildas star and special guest, Elise Kellond-Knight.

This initiative promotes a love of reading, and supports connection, creativity and wellbeing.
