SPRINGEDITION

SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER 2012

2 | Geelong Regional Library Corporation www.geelonglibraries.vic.gov.au

It’s my pleasure to present you with the Geelong Regional Library

Corporation’s events and programs brochure for September to

November 2012.

Your libraries are offering a great number and array of activities and

events this Spring. We place special emphasis on the development

of reading literacy and with this in mind, provide a huge range of

children’s and youth activities. We are also helping the community

keep pace with changes in technology through our educational

programming.

Libraries are community spaces. Our programming for adults is also

extensive with book chats, poetry readings, author events and many

other activities to enjoy.

Make the most of the Spring sunshine with a visit to your local

library and participate in the events and activities that interest you.

This brochure details opportunities for every community member to

participate and learn. We hope to see you in our libraries regularly.

There is something for everyone.
