CELEBRATE Valentine’s Day this year by showing your support for Library Lovers Day - an initiative to get people reading.

Fairfield City libraries will mark the day by giving away free Love2Read wristbands and badges.

This year, the day also falls within the National Year of Reading.

“National Year of Reading is about encouraging Australians to read or learn to read by supporting reading initiatives and helping people discover and rediscover the magic of books,” Fairfield mayor Nick Lalich said.

“Imagine not being able to follow a cooking recipe, understand a newspaper or read your medicine package”.

Libraries within the Fairfield area are Whitlam, Bonnyrigg, Fairfield, Smithfield and Wetherill Park.

To find out how they will celebrate, call 9725 0222.
