What is Read More
The Moreland Reading Project Read More is a celebration of reading which aims to develop a community culture where the importance of reading is valued and acknowledged. Since its inception in 2000, Read More has hosted a wide range of free activities to appeal to our diverse Moreland community.
From the topical and informative to the escapist and experimental, events have included talks by local and international authors as well as workshops varying from recording your own music, poetry writing, parenting and tracing the history of your house.
Other activities have included film nights, cultural performances, sporting demonstrations, cookery sessions, special children's storytimes and fun competitions.
Read, watch and listen at a Read More event!
Hear talks, watch demonstrations, join in workshops or view displays on topics ranging from health and wellbeing, do-it-yourself projects, lifestyles, the environment, food and history. Gain an insight into the work of authors from Moreland, Victoria and overseas as they share their writing experiences with us. Take children along to special storytime sessions and craft activities. Enter fun reading competitions throughout the year for chances to win great prizes.
The 'BookStart kit'
A highlight of Read More is the library's "BookStart Kit" which is distributed to every Moreland baby through the Maternal and Child Health Nurses. The free kit contains a board book and advice on developing children's reading skills from an early age as well as information on parenting resources.
A community wide initiative, Read More provides a forum for community groups to promote their own reading related activities.
