Kids around Australia are dressing up and celebrating their favourite stories for Book Week. We celebrate by going on a trip to the library to find out about the history of these big book depositories and how they’re adapting to stay relevant in the digital future.

TEACHER RESOURCES
Students will explore the history of libraries and why they are important. Students will create their own creative story including developing storylines, characters and settings. English - Years 4-6.
