The Geelong Regional Libraries' purpose is to provide a thriving public library service that boosts our communities’ health, prosperity, connectedness and belonging. This is particularly pertinent as we contribute to the recovery of the region during and post pandemic.
We are a consistently recognised leader in Victoria’s public library sector and provide services across the five local government areas that are part of the G21 region. This includes 19 libraries and three mobile library services.
We aspire to be regional leaders in technology and innovation so that, as the custodians and distributors of accumulated knowledge and resources, we can ensure universal access for everyone, whether online, in our libraries, or through outreach and innovative partnerships.
We create safe and welcoming spaces for everyone and host a rich calendar of learning and cultural programs and events with live audiences and via online platforms.
We continue to embed an organisational culture that is curious, caring, skilled and confident to experiment during these transformative times.
We are focussed on establishing strategic frameworks and systems that will ensure we are known as a sustainable, well governed and future focussed organisation.
