Join our summer book club!

There’s nothing better than relaxing during summer with a good book. And now we have your reading list sorted with some of this season’s hottest page turners.

Work your way through the biggest non-fiction releases on the Library’s reading list, get your questions ready and join host Astrid Edwards for a conversation with the author themselves.

This week, we’ll be joined by…Helen Garner.

One of Australia’s most beloved authors with modern classics including Monkey Grip and This House of Grief, Garner is joining us to discuss her latest book, The Season.

In The Season, Garner – a passionate Western Bulldogs fan (with a rather shaky grasp of the rules) – goes beyond the theatre of AFL into the heart of the game when she starts to attend her grandson’s under-16 team games.

Hear directly from the celebrated author about what inspired the book, her writing process and more. Plus, get the chance to ask any of your burning questions.

Book your tickets now and get reading!
