So good to see author events back at our libraries. Last night I enjoyed Michael Burge Media sharing his insights in conversation with John Bartlett at Belmont Library.

The highlight of the evening was a customer wondering in and giving our staff a box of chocolates, just for being there as part of her community. She had one sentence to sum up how she felt. I Love this Library. Geelong Regional Libraries
