Storytime

Melbourne Rare Book Week

Event Date: 29 July 2026 08:00 AM to 29 July 2026 05:00 PM *
Author / Presenters: Chris Browne, Jane Sullivan
Event Venue: East Melbourne Library
Event Organiser: Melbourne Rare Book Week

Many of us will remember favourite books from our childhood, but do we know what we would think of them now? Join us to hear how a leading Melbourne journalist recollected her favourite childhood books to create her own wonderful book Storytime: growing up with books. Jane will discuss how the books that she loved as a child appeal to her today. The conversation will be illustrated by readings, and copies of some of Jane’s favourite children’s books will be on display. Jane will sign copies of Storytime, which will be available for purchase by cash only, at the event.
