Hume libraries took part in National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday, May 25 at 11am.
National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).
Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by Australians is read simultaneously all over the country.
The chosen book this year was ‘Family Tree’ written by Josh Pyke and illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh.
Craigieburn Library children’s services technician Josie Mitzi started the session with a sing along to the classic “If You’re Happy and You Know It” before moving onto the reading.
The kids were then treated to some seed planting outdoors where they got to get their hands dirty and learn about plants.
The morning continued with arts and crafts, where they were able to create their own family trees.
To end the day, Ms Mitzi blasted the bubble machine where the kids ran rampant trying to catch and burst them.
