Beaudesert Library was one of many Australian libraries to take part in National Simultaneous Storytime at 11am on 24 May.
Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools and many other places around the country.
This year The Speedy Sloth by Rebecca Young and Heath McKenzie was selected.
A large group of young children aged between 0 and 5 years and their parents gathered at Jubilee Park to enjoy Library Assistant Miranda Collins’ delightful and engaging reading of this inspiring story that celebrates all winners … especially those who don’t come first!
