This is a wonderful opportunity to
promote reading and literacy in this age group in our community, and to
promote reading aloud as an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Support, encourage and impart
knowledge to parents & caregivers on the importance of reading to their
children from infancy
-
Facilitate the coming together
of communities, libraries, authors, publishers and other key
stakeholders

Support emerging and established
Queensland & Australian authors
-
Promote libraries as the
cultural hub of their communities
Major partners
Each month three books will be
selected to help people choose age appropriate quality books to read aloud
to their children. Book lists and free activity sheets will be available on
