Readers Rendezvous to launch tomorrow
BOOK lovers of all ages are encouraged to head to the Warrnambool Library this weekend.
Tomorrow (Saturday) the library will launch its inaugural ‘Readers Rendezvous’ - a new service for book clubs, book lovers and book clubbers.
“We’re inviting readers, book lovers, book club members, or those wishing to join a club, to come along, enjoy some light refreshments and check out the resources we have available for clubs and passionate readers,” Warrnambool Library manager Maryanne Vagg said.
“We’re extremely excited for this event and are looking forward to seeing many people in the library.”
The Readers Rendezvous event includes the launch of the new book club sets which will be available for borrowing from January 2025.
“We’ll launch our list of book club recommended books but we’re also really keen to hear reading suggestions from book clubs,” Ms Vagg said.
“Over coming months we’ll add suggested titles to our Readers Rendezvous and create a wonderfully diverse selection of titles for clubs to choose from.”
Those in a book club can register with the library to receive updates on new titles and invitations to future Readers Rendezvous events.
“And if your book club is looking for new members please let us know – we can help connect readers with book clubs,” Ms Vagg said.
The library can also provide expert support to guide readers through starting their own club, tips for facilitating great discussions and what titles to look forward to in 2025.
As part of the launch, the library will give away a book bundle to the value of $150 to one lucky reader.
The Readers Rendezvous is on at the Warrnambool Library tomorrow, Saturday, December 7, from 2pm to 4pm.
Attendees are encouraged to book a place via the Warrnambool Library website www.library.warrnambool.vic.gov.au.
