Reading Victoria
Reading Victoria is all about readers - expanding reading choices, fostering reading as a creative activity and encouraging readers to interact with each other.
Reading Victoria's current activities focus on adult readers, with an annual summer reading program and a quarterly book club.
A quarterly book club devoted to discussion of the great, the awful, the perpetually unfinished and the can't-wait-to-start books that grace people's bedside tables. Spirited conversation guaranteed!
The Library's 2008 summer reading program will be launched on 14 November. Keep an eye on this page for details.
In 2007 readers voted for their top five books from the Summer Read shortlist. Four lucky voters won great prizes, over 30 events were held and the blog saw plenty of discussion.
The Library's inaugural summer reading program took readers on a journey around the state, with a shortlist of 20 contemporary and classic novels set in Victoria. The winning favourite book, as voted by members of the public, was Three Dollars by Elliot Perlman.
