Join ALIAVic at the beautiful narrm ngarrgu Library to celebrate Children’s Book Week in style.
Come dressed as a book character to celebrate in true bookish style. There will be a costume catwalk and award for best costume, and well as drinks and delicious canapés.
We will also be celebrating the second annual Victorian Library and Information Award (VLIA) with the shortlisted nominees in attendance and the winner being presented with the bespoke VLIA perpetual trophy ‘Hush’.
