How do public libraries fight racism? Can you be addicted to books? What’s it really like to be a librarian? Meet Me at the Library takes you inside public libraries across Central Victoria to find out how these remarkable spaces bring us together. With wise, wonderful and witty characters, from the keyboard warrior using the library’s free WiFi to help reunite families, through to the reformed smoker who’s replaced cigarettes with books, you’ll find out why these surprising, creative and democratic places – our public libraries – are more important than ever.

What would you LOVE to do for work, if only you could?
“A friend of mine posted on Facebook about her dream job, and I said I want to be that library lady with the microphone that gets to read the stories and sing the songs.”
Angela Graystone is living her best life having landed her dream job as a librarian. She spends her days singing nursery rhymes, blowing bubbles and reading storybooks aloud to children.
“Being an extrovert definitely helps in my job – it makes it easier that’s for sure.”
Twenty years ago though, the public library is the last place Ange thought she’d end up.
