Best of all, any new members who sign up between now and Wednesday 31 July will go in the running to win a MEGA prize pack, including vouchers for Geelong Arts Centre, Murran, Adventure Park, Tech Zone Geelong, Augustus Gelati.

There are three prizes up for grabs at EVERY library across the region (one each for ages 0-5, 6-12 and 12-18) including movie tickets, sessions at Rollerway, ice-cream vouchers, MOPA tickets, musical instruments and more.

Because these cards are limited, your favourite may not be available at your local library - get in quick before they run out!
