About this Event

What if storytime wasn’t just for kids? 

Hosted by drag performers and featuring journalist Narelda Jacobs and her wife Karina Natt reading from their new picture book If Queers Weren’t Meant to Have Kids…, this adults-only storytime celebrates rainbow families through humour, satire and love. 

Expect camp performances, rousing singalongs and a spirited reimagining of a beloved State Library Victoria tradition – complete with a bar and a lot of heart. 

Equal parts laughter and liberation, this event reclaims the joy of storytelling for all, and includes an exclusive and lively in-conversation and book-signing opportunity with Narelda and Karina. 

Book your tickets now. 


Please note: This event may contain adult themes, strobing and flashing lights and loud noise – please check nearer to the event for content advisory. 

This event is for people aged 18 and over. 


Presented by State Library Victoria with Midsumma Festival.
