Experience the joy of reading together as we join millions across Australia for National Simultaneous Storytime. This year, we dive into the exciting soccer adventures of Luna Roo, the kangaroo baller who wears the colours of the Matildas. Children can come dressed in the colours of their favourite sporting team, making it a fun and inclusive event.
After the story, kids will have the chance to participate in sporty activities and creative craft sessions inspired by Luna's adventures. It’s a perfect way to encourage literacy and active play in a welcoming community environment.
Guardians are required to stay nearby, ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere for all children attending.
The event runs for one hour, starting at 11:45 am and finishing at 12:45 pm on Wednesday, 27 May 2026. It is free to attend and suitable for school-aged children who love stories and sports.
Group bookings of more than 10 children are welcome but require a phone call to the library to arrange. This helps the organisers prepare for a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
For families looking for more reading inspiration, the library offers a dedicated Literacy and Reading Resources page with recommendations and advice tailored for children.
The event takes place at Camberwell Library, located at 340 Camberwell Road, Camberwell VIC 3124. The library is fully accessible, ensuring all families can participate comfortably.
Public transport options and parking are available nearby, making it easy to reach the venue. The library is a welcoming community hub where parents and children can enjoy a variety of programs beyond storytime.
Guardians must remain in the vicinity of the library during the event to supervise their children.
Please note that while Luna Roo wears Matildas colours, children are encouraged to wear any sporting team colours they love, adding to the festive atmosphere.
For group bookings of over 10 children, please call the library on (03) 9278 4666 to ensure adequate arrangements.
This is a free event with no booking fee. However, registration is encouraged to help the library manage numbers and prepare activities.
