Russ the Story Bus is no ordinary bus – he’s covered in illustrations, has a belly full of books and is a mobile library open all day for you to borrow from.

Russ is a bright and colourful creative space full of bookshelves stocked with books from dozens of writers and comfy benches for kids to read. Jump aboard Russ, who will be parked out the front of the library, grab a book of his jam-packed shelves and cosy up to be transported into a new world of storytelling. 

Spark a lifetime love of reading and creativity and visit Russ this Family Day.
