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!
This year we invited you to once again immerse yourself in great summer reading. From a shortlist of 20 recently published Victorian books, readers voted for their top five books. 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.
