Australian Reading Hour 2021 will be celebrated on Tuesday 14 September 2021.  "Australian Reading Hour 2021 celebrates the stories that matter and explores the role of storytelling in transforming lives and shaping our sense of identity, belonging and understanding- as individuals and as a nation.” Host your own Australian Reading Hour. This is a great opportunity for families to spend some time engaging with stories together by sharing a story or individually sitting with a book for an hour at some stage during the day. This is a great way to look after our well being by relaxing and escaping for all that has been happening during lockdown. The website has ideas and resources for families. Follow along and join in @australiareads on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
