- Abstract:
- Drag Queen Storytime has become increasingly popular in public library early years programmes. The model learns from and build upon the established success of library early years storytime. Providing a playful performance of gender DQS requires an expected standard of storytelling skills, helps develop mulit-literacies as well as learning development, play, community cohesion and empathy. Looking at studies and observing reports from DQS sessions this essay considers how DQS can extend library storytime and provide a unique fulfilling experience for children.
