Story Box Library

Story Box Library is like an online ‘reading room’ where Australian Children’s Literature is on permanent exhibit. It provides the precious experience that sharing a book entails via a diverse range of everyday Australian storytellers. Listen to sportspeople, musicians, grandparents, teenagers, comedians, actors, with varying accents and from different cultures - each sharing past and present stories to give a vibrant and interactive experience. The result is meaningful, entertaining readings that focus on both teller and tale.
