This year’s theme was ‘Find Your Treasure in Books’ and the staff all dressed as pirates to add to the fun.
Librarians from the Hastings, Kylie Rose and Elizabeth Robinson read stories to the children who were enthralled.
Book Week began way back in 1946, when the Children’s Book Council of Australia celebrated it, as a means of bringing words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of Australian children, to enrich the nation, and nurture a literate, educated and creative society.
Today, CBCA Book Week continues right across the nation, celebrating the wonderful quality of books published by Australian authors and illustrators.
