We're excited to offer a new collection, "Read Now"!

Read Now is a curated collection of our really popular titles. Currently, we have 5 copies of 10 popular titles available for you to borrow, only at Geelong and Colac Libraries.

How is it any different?

  • 2 weeks loan period (to ensure a quick turnaround!)
  • No reservations, no transfer and no loan extensions
  • Currently, can only be loaned out in person at GLHC (but you can drop it off at any of our libraries!)
  • Our Read Now collection is only available for a limited time only

Read Now is only available at Geelong and Colac Libraries. 

You can search our catalogue to check for any available Read Now books, or you can call Geelong and Colac Libraries and ask one of our friendly team to check for you.
