Overview

Celebrate your love of stories these school holidays. In this session, participants will explore the National Library of Australia spaces designed for sharing stories, including the Wangka Wakanutja exhibition and the Kids' Corner in the Library's Main Reading Room.

Following this, gather to explore different storytelling modes with the Library's Education team. Participants will be encouraged to share and create by listening to stories, crafting their own, or connecting with others through shared narratives.

All materials will be supplied. This activity is suitable for children 3 to 8 years of age. Adult supervision is required, but carers do not need to book a ticket for themselves.

Light refreshments, including fresh fruit, healthy snacks, and water, will be provided. Please notify the Library's Education team of any allergies or special dietary requirements at the time of booking.
