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.
