The Summer Read

Each year, the Library runs a summer reading program that celebrates Victoria as a centre for great writing, books and readers.

Focusing on books set in Victoria or by Victorian authors, The Summer Read invites you to read our shortlist and share your favourites. There is also a range of associated events at public libraries around the state.

This year, the Library is involved in Our Story, a special National Year of Reading program. Discover six wonderful books with a Victorian flavour, and help us choose the winning book! The Summer Read will return for the 2012–13 summer.
