An Evening with David Baldacci
Are you a David Baldacci fan?
Come along to The Glasshouse on Tuesday 21 July at 7pm for an 'In Conversation' event with the man himself!
This free event is open to everyone and offers an exciting opportunity for you to ask David questions, which he will answer live.
Don’t miss the award-winning author of the Walter Nash, Travis Devine, Amos Decker and Aloysius Archer series, as he discusses his pulse-pounding books, followed by a live audience Q&A. Hosted by BorrowBox.
An afternoon with Warm Winter Read ambassador Jo Dixon
Come along on Friday 31 July at 2.30pm when we host Warm Winter Read ambassador, Jo Dixon at The Glasshouse.
Jo lives in rural Tasmania, where she wrangles an ever-growing collection of animals and is kept busy transforming blackberry-infested paddocks into beautiful gardens. She has been a dental assistant, an event coordinator, and a sales rep in the travel industry. Now she writes full-time, creating twisty, suspenseful stories that feature flawed characters who've made mistakes, but who turn out to be stronger than they think.
Jo's debut novel The House of Now and Then was released in 2023, followed by A Shadow at the Door and A Disappearing Act
Warm Winter Read
Public libraries across Victoria and Tasmania invite adults aged 16+ to take part in the 2026 Warm Winter Read.
Enjoy time to read, connect with readers across the state, and take part in a program designed purely for reading pleasure. With great prizes to be won and fun ways to participate, winter is the perfect season to curl up with a good book.
You can register and participate online here, or sign up in person at any public library across Victoria and Tasmania.
To enter the state-wide prize draws, you can:
The more you participate, the more prize draws you enter. The Warm Winter Read runs from 1 June to 31 August 2026 and is a state-wide reading campaign coordinated by Public Libraries Victoria
And...we will once again be running our Warm Winter Read 'Gannawarra Library Service Members Only' competition this year. Entering is simple! Between 1 June and August 31, when you borrow a book from us we will give you a Book Review form. Once you've finished your book, fill in the details with a review and return it to your library branch along with your book. The more items you read and review, the more entries you receive. The prize of a $100 gift voucher, will be drawn in early September. The winner will be notified by phone.
Please note: you must be 16+ and a member with the Gannawarra Library Service to go into the Gannawarra only prize draw.
