Regional Library

The Geelong Regional Library Corporation (GRLC) was formed under the provisions of Section 196 of the Local Government Act, 1989 on 4 March 1997 to provide library services within the municipal districts: Borough of Queenscliffe, City of Greater Geelong, Golden Plains Shire and Surf Coast Shire. GRLC provides services through a co-ordinated on-line network of 13 Branch Libraries and 3 Mobile Libraries.

Governance
The Geelong Regional Library Corporation is governed by the Regional Library Board whose responsibilities and authorities are similar to those applying to councils and include policy, strategic and corporate planning and service evaluation.
