THE magic of books transforms the reader into worlds of infinite potential. The chance to traverse the worlds of ancient Mesopotamia and WWI, drop everything and head home to the west coast of Tasmania, search for a missing sister in Cobram, or explore the true but hidden history of women who love women in Australia, is just a taste of the gifts to be found between the pages of books.

Goulburn Valley Libraries have recently hosted a spate of author’s talks, sharing their writing journey with readers. With a fantastic line-up of authors to keep readers skimming the clouds of book heaven.
