It’s National Shared Reading Week 28 October to 3 November, 2024.

Street Library Australia  events will be held throughout the country to celebrate shared reading.

The KRA has set up three Street Libraries in Kensington. They are actively used by our reading residents of all ages.  Join us at an event that celebrates Street Libraries and shared reading in Kensington.

Where: at the High Street Café Street Library – Phillips St

When: from 10am on Saturday 2 November, 2024

Reading to children: from 10 am residents will read picture books to children. This will be both a group and one-to-one activity. Rugs and children’s books galore to encourage and celebrate shared reading.

Reading for all: come and listen to stories of life in historic Kensington read aloud for all to enjoy.

Who doesn’t love a good story? Who doesn’t love a book? Who doesn’t love a good coffee? Come and listen. Come and read. Let’s celebrate shared reading and Street Libraries together.

Stay on to enjoy the music that follows: 11am, High Street Live.
