Indigenous Literacy Day with Anette Sax

About
Celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day at narrm ngarrgu Library!Join us for a special Storytime in celebration of Indigenous Literacy Day — an annual event that honours the rich stories, cultures, and languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Annette Sax, a Yarn Strong Sista Aboriginal storyteller, who will share the contemporary tale Bartja and Mayila, written by Yorta Yorta author Sue Atkinson and illustrated by Annette herself, a Taungurung artist. Through this story, Annette will share Victorian Koorie culture and storytelling traditions.
After the story, stay for a hands-on creative session where you’ll use natural materials gathered on Country to craft a traditional Aboriginal necklace.
