National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country.

Give me some space! written and illustrated by Philip Bunting has been selected as this year’s story. NSS takes place on Wednesday 19^th May 2021 at 11:00am (AEST). This year NSS is a little different from previous years as Give me some space! is being read from space.
