16.01.2022 Name your favourite audio book narrator! Mine has got to be Sean Mangan. Ill listen to anything he has to say or read! He has the best voice he brings characters to life and keeps me engrossed in the book. You know youve found a great narrator when they are the sole reason you have discovered new authors you would have not normally gravitated to. I highly recommend his reading of Matthew Reilley, Greig Beck and many more! Review by Deb C

04.01.2022 Children who begin school with fewer reading and literacy skills will start behind and stay behind.

The Library is giving a special gift of books this Christmas to children from families in our community who are experiencing disadvantage. Help us ensure no child is left behind. You can support Give... the Gift of Reading this Christmas by donating to our appeal. https://www.givenow.com.au/give_the_gift_of_reading Whitehorse Manningham Libraries, in partnership with Enhanced Maternal and Child Health services and Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS) aim to gift books and early literacy tools this Christmas to children who have been identified at risk in the Cities of Whitehorse and Manningham.
