What People Say About Story Box Library

story box library testimonial

I think the website is sooo pedagogically sound and wonderfully Australian - I have struggled to find different forms of literacy for our curriculum that are quality. Thank you for providing this... what a fabulous resource for families...!

Kirsty, Coolah Preschool Kindergarten

I love to use Story Box Library during classes' visits to the Library. ...with the older Primary levels we can delve into the author and illustrator features to see ... how they work. The younger levels just love to hear and see the stories.

Karelle Stanton (Teacher Librarian), Edinburgh College

I love your site and have shared it with so many other teachers! My students love it when we log in and they notice a new book, nearly as much as new picture story books at school (very rare in our rural school).
