The theme of the week was Australia! Story Country and across the region children participated in parades and other activities, and libraries were decorated for the occasion.

Some children went to school dressed as their favourite Australian book character, while others went for old favourites such as superheroes.

Some schools also had children’s authors come to visit and talk about how they got into writing and what inspired them.

The Daily Liberal is running a gallery on its website of photos contributed by schools of their book week celebrations.
