About the Return Yourself to the Library campaign

30 million people visit public libraries in Victoria every year to access collections, attend programs and events, engage with others in their community, utilise technology and computer services, learn new skills, and foster their love a reading. As a member of Geelong Regional Libraries, you join over 2 million Victorians who also access the full benefits of their local public library. We are joining public library services around Victoria in encouraging people to return to the library after extended lockdowns, and rediscover creativity, community, and the collection.
