School holiday adventures at State Library Victoria

Check out the library’s ‘What’s on’ page and join the fun these school holidays – and throughout the Challenge – with author talks, craft workshops and storytime.

To celebrate 20 years of the Challenge, the Reading Challenge team have taken over the Pauline Gandel Children’s Quarter with displays of this year’s beautiful artwork from illustrator ambassador Anna Walker and Jess’s bookshelf dragon from The Lost Library. The installation will be up throughout the Challenge to welcome visitors into this very special children’s reading space.
