This Saturday 9 August is National Bookshop Day, a special day to celebrate bookstores, booksellers, book-lovers and, of course, books! We are delighted to announce we will have some very special guests on the day…

The Gruffalo and the mouse will be joining us for storytime at three of our shops!

Bring the kids along to Readings St Kilda at 10.30am (details here), Readings Carlton at 12pm (details here) or Readings Hawthorn at 2pm (details here) for cuddles and giveaways with these two furry friends!

We’re also having another special guest visiting our Carlton shop for Story Time. Arrive by 11:30am to hear Damon Young read from his picture book, My Nanna is a Ninja.

And remember to take a #readingsselfie while you’re visiting for a chance to win a $100 gift voucher! (Read more about our #readingsselfie competition here.)
