📚✨ One story, many voices! ✨📚

A couple of weeks ago, across Australia, people came together for National Simultaneous Storytime—sharing the same picture book in homes, schools, and libraries everywhere! This year we read Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller, and enjoyed some fun crafts afterwards 🦘🎨

We celebrated NSS during our regular First 5 Forever Storytime sessions, where every week is a chance to spark imagination, build early literacy skills, and have fun together 🎶

The Connections Group has been gathering regularly at Biloela Library for some wonderful creative catchups!

The ladies have been busy exploring a range of crafts — making beautiful flower art hangers using bottle tops, designing bird collages using paints and printed papers, and even creating decorative tea light lanterns.

We’re proud to provide a welcoming space where local groups can connect, share ideas, and enjoy each other’s company.
