The week is filled with fun reading inspired events and activities for all ages across libraries and other organisations statewide.

This year you are invited to join the fun. That might be by attending an event, finding something to read, watch or listen to in the eLibrary, or trying a new library program.

Learn more about the events and activities taking place throughout the week on the Libraries Tasmania website.
