You find Warm Winter Reads displays in our library branches to help you find the perfect book to curl up with. While you’re in the library, collect bookmarks with recommended reads from Victorian authors including Jane Harper, Jock Serong, Maxine Beneba Clare, Toni Jordan, Rebecca Lim, Claire G Coleman, Helen Garner and Christos Tsiolkas.
You can also join the conversation online by sharing your progress using #WarmWinterRead. Don’t forget to tag @myliLibrary on Facebook and @myli_library on Instagram so we can see your #WarmWinterRead photos.
