Come to Torquay Library to watch the amazing "Live and Local Program", livestreamed directly from Sydney Writers Festival. Attendance is free and bookings are not required.
Sydney Writers' Festival is an event for everyone - including those who can't make it to Carriageworks during the Festival.
From conversations with literary luminaries to panel discussions on our world's most urgent issues, we don't want you to miss an insightful comment or witty joke that comes from our stages.
This year, we are streaming our events live from Bay 17 for everyone, wherever you are, to access from your local library. Watch along, send in questions directly to the Sydney stage and be a part of Sydney Writers' Festival in 2024.
All screenings at Geelong Library & Heritage Centre will take place on Level 2 in the meeting room.
You are welcome to attend without booking, and you can attend one session or all of them, free of charge.

Located in Torquay’s Surf City Plaza, adjacent to the Surf World Museum and Community Hall, Torquay Library is a popular community gathering space, particularly for families and holidaymakers. The branch features zones for reading, studying and working, a dedicated area for children, public access PCs and free WiFi. Regular Baby, Toddler and Preschool Story Time sessions are held here, and many events and programs for adults are also run throughout the year.
The Geelong Regional Library Corporation acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin nation, and the Gulidjan and Gadubanud Peoples of the Maar nations as the Original Owners of the lands on which our library services operate. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and celebrate First Nations Peoples of this land as the custodians of learning, literacy, knowledge and story.
