Event details
Pick a book, bring a warm drink and turn off your phone for a well-deserved detox read in the cosy comfort of Camberwell Library (and surrounding gardens, if the weather holds). Cushions and bean bags provided!
Looking for something new to read? Themed ‘book bundles’ will be available to borrow or you can browse our staff picks.
Page Against the Machine is an international event which brings readers of all ages and backgrounds together to enjoy the simple pleasure of reading. Cities of Literature across the world will join us by hosting their own event on the same date.
Make sure to take a picture of your chosen book and reading spot and share with us on social media using the hashtag #PageAgainsttheMachine.
Programmed by Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature in association with Norwich UNESCO City of Literature and The Book Hive. Supported by the UNESCO Cities of Literature network.
