Book week is one massive celebration of books, stories and characters, and Book Week 2026 is scheduled to come to life from 22 to 28 August.
The theme for 2026 is “Symphony of Stories”, celebrating the diversity of stories and the creativity of Australian authors and illustrators, with artwork by Briony Stewart, known for her vibrant and imaginative illustrations.
Celebrate the Book Week theme “A Symphony of Stories” at Forbes Library. Join in for a Special Storytime to share one of the CBCA shortlisted books for 2026 and have fun making animal sounds with percussion instruments. Everyone will also make a special “froggy” craft to take home.
Children of all ages are welcome to attend this Storytime – but it is designed to best suit children ages 3-5 years.
Join in the Book Week “Symphony” Musical Storytime at Forbes Library on Tuesday 25 August from 10.30am.
