Turn off the TV and pick up a book!

The Campaspe Regional Library is proud to be one of the many Victorian library services that is participating in The Summer Read 2011 www.slv.vic.gov.au/event/summer-read-2011  In all of our branches we have the Summer Read books available for loan.  All of the novels are either written by Victorian authors or set in Victoria.  The Summer Read website has some great information about each title if you would like to find out more about them go to www.slv.vic.gov.au/node/3241  There is a great competition running in conjunction with the promotion and we thank the fabulous sponsors that have got behind the campaign.  Entry forms can be downloaded from the links included in this post, or come into the branch and pick one up.  Entries close by March 4th 2011 so there is still plenty of time to get reading and enter the draw.  Some of the library staff are busily reading the listed books as well.  The author of this post is enjoying Flying with Paper Wings by Sandy Juffs, a credit to the author who has shared her story of mental illness is such a frank way.   One of the titles that may be of interest to many is Animal Kingdom which has been made into a highly credited and award winning movie, including Jackie Weaver's recent Golden Globe nomination.  The book and movie is not for the faint hearted but very gripping all the same.   So come in and see what other titles might interest you.
