As a member of Geelong Regional Libraries you can access free books, films, ebooks, audiobooks, events and programs for all ages and so much more. And if you join up this January you will automatically go into the draw to win one of four $100 egift vouchers.

A reminder, people of all ages are able to join the library - and you can easily link your children's cards to your own account to make keeping track easier.
