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 do you do if you can’t get to your local library?
Call for help from the Home Library Service!
Marvellous Meredith is a volunteer with the Home Library Service at her local library, selecting and delivering books and other library items to people in her community who are unable to visit the library.
“We're supposed to stay for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Well, I generally stay for at least half an hour with each of my ladies, because I enjoy their company.”
Find out why the service matters so much, from those that rely on it.
