Next stop on our library road tour of Northeast Victoria was Tallangatta in Towong Shire, where the roof line of the library building echoes, the mountain peaks and windows open onto breathtaking views of the valley. Our hosts Vicky and Danielle had celebrated Reconciliation Week at the library that morning

While the Libraries Victoria team was upstairs running a training session, our CEO Angela enjoyed working at for the day. Such a busy, vibrant library. There were parents with children, some waiting for the doors to open at the start of the day, jobseekers receiving help, people with disability and their carers, students and their tutors, young people gaming, people using computers or just hanging out. The space felt so safe and welcoming
