The Library team are excited to invite all our members to join our final book chat for 2026. Join us for a sneak peek into new release titles filling the bookshops in time for Christmas.

For our upcoming session of this quarterly book chat, we will be joined by our Acquisitions Librarian, Siobhan Dennis.

Siobhan will discuss two new releases dominating the conversation within the ‘library world’. She will talk about the authors, their previous works, and most importantly… ‘deliver a thumbs up or thumbs down’ on their most recent book.

Not to be outdone, your host Maureen O’Reilly will also provide a review of a new release book. Rumour is, she will discuss the yet to be released title scheduled for our Library Lovers Day Author event in February!

And then it is your turn! We are inviting library members to share one or two books they’ve enjoyed reading since our last book chat in August. While carefully avoiding ‘spoiler alerts’, you can share what you liked about your chosen book, what you didn’t enjoy, whether the characters resonated with you, and whether you would recommend this book to your fellow library members.

If everyone shares a thoughtful review of one book they’ve enjoyed reading, you’re sure to walk away with a fabulous reading list! If you would prefer to sit back and listen, that is perfectly fine... every book reviewer needs an audience!

Who is it for?

We welcome everyone to come along and Meet our Librarians. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Vision Australia Library members and librarians to come together for a fun and informal chat about newly released books.

We warmly welcome all our members to join us, irrespective of the depth of breadth of your bookshelf. Take an hour out of your day, relax and join us to chat about our shared passion... books!
