National Year of Reading 2012

As a lasting legacy of the National Year of Reading, and in celebration of Melbourne’s UNESCO City of Literature status, an unnamed lane in the city, off Little LaTrobe Street, is to be named Literature Lane. Literature Lane will join other famous Melbourne lanes, including AC/DC Lane and Dame Edna Place and will be launched by the Lord Mayor Robert Doyle on May 21.

The Are We There Yet? touring exhibition continues its journey around Australia, arriving in Queensland on April 20th. The exhibition, based on Alison Lester's gorgeous picture book, shows both the original illlustrations as well as preliminary and developmental stages in the making of the book - from Alison's children's actual travel diaries, through text, illustration and design drafts, to the final published book. The exhibition will be showing at Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre until May 12^th.
