Would you like to record your personal memory of Geelong and save it for future generations?

'Hello Machines' are interactive vintage telephones that can record people's personal stories for others to enjoy. As part of the Hello Geelong project, these telephones will be on display in various Geelong Regional Libraries with accompanying furniture such as telephone seats, as if the telephones are situated within a private home.

By picking up the receiver, participants will be invited to talk to an 'Interactive Voice Response Chat Bot', which will prompt them with questions about their memories of Geelong. These memories will be added to a collection that will then be accessible through the 'Hello Geelong' payphone booth, which will be located at Ki-kirri-ngitj – ground floor Geelong Library & Heritage Centre.

About the Library

Library services first began in Belmont in 1885. Our current library was officially opened on 28 October 1982 by the Hon FN Wilkes MP, Minister for Local Government and his Worship the Mayor, Cr PF Ward JP. The building was renovated in 2010 making it a modern, pleasing and community-centric library environment. The renovated library was officially opened by the Hon Richard Wynne MP, Minister for Local Government. Belmont Library is a large and busy hub within easy reach of the High Street commercial precinct.
