The annual campaign aims to encourage more young Australians to read and enjoy books and involves a picture book to be read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres and bookshops around the country.
Shoalhaven Libraries Digital Resources Manager Robin Sharpe said Storytime was a big hit with the children.
“It went really well, we had 120 preschoolers and primary school children,” she said.
“It’s a really great celebration of children’s picture books.”
The book chosen this year to be read nationally was ‘I Got This Hat’, written by Jol and Kate Temple and illustrated by Jon Foye.
“Its’ a fun book about trying on different hats and the environment you would wear that hat in,” Ms Sharpe said.
The picture book, like many others is available on Nowra Library’s 24-7 Digital Library.
“Its a great resource because you can go onto that database, log on with your library card and access a whole range of children’s book by popular authors.”
