Come in and view all 859 bookmark entries on display, sit down and watch the 35 minute collection of videos sent from local schools giving tours, book reviews and more, or come in and borrow a book from the 2020 book of the year shortlist.
Griffith City Library's People and Programs Team Leader, Sharmaine Delgado said, the week was about celebrating the joy and benefits of reading.
