How is it any different?

  • 2 weeks loan period (to ensure a quick turnaround!)
  • No reservations, no transfer and no loan extensions
  • Currently, can only be loaned out in person at GLHC (but you can drop it off at any of our libraries!)
  • Our Read Now collection is only available for a limited time only

Read Now is only available at Geelong and Colac Libraries.
