10 New Aussie Books in the Library
The Vision Australia Library is thrilled to add ten newly released fiction titles to its collection. What’s more, they’re all women, and all Australian.

Storytime for Indigenous Literacy Day
Children's Services
It was a very special day for old friends and new, at Vision Australia Library’s recent intergenerational story time (Preschool Goes Old School). Held on Indigenous Literacy Day (September 6) the group was honoured with stories from First Nations guests Peter, a storyteller from Wanyara and artist Holly McClennan Brown. Both talked of their connection to Country. Peter shared a range of beautiful tools while telling the story of his and his family's history. The children especially enjoyed the comforting feel of the possum skins. Holly worked with all participants in creating a bright and colourful group painting on canvas. Alongside this shared experience, the little ones also worked on their own impressive artworks from everything they learnt that day. Indigenous Literacy Day Taking place on the first Wednesday of September each year, the event raises awareness of the educational struggles facing many Indigenous groups in Australia, while also serving as a fundraiser to collect literary resources for children living in more isolated areas of the country. Visit the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (external website) to find out more. Join in the fun Our next Preschool Goes Old-School intergenerational story time is: November 23, at our Kooyong centre.
