Inaugural Annual Lecture in Memory of Fiona Baranowski
Meet these authors and hear about their books and the writing process
Fiona Baranowski, who is remembered for her long history and contribution to library services in the Geelong Region, passed away suddenly in March 2015. Fiona was part of our team at the Geelong Regional Library Corporation in the early nineties and then again in 2009 until 2012 when she joined Melbourne Library Service.
ARNOLD ZABLE – THE FIGHTER
Fiona was a creative thinker and in her role as Literary Events and Projects Coordinator introduced the innovative Open Mind Lecture Series that continues today as an important part of the library’s lifelong learning and events program. It is fitting that we introduce the lecture as part of this series in March 2016. It is a year since Fiona’s passing and this week International Women’s Day is celebrated. Women’s rights was an issue of passionate interest to Fiona and Kirsty Sword Gusmão is an excellent choice of speaker for this inaugural lecture. Geelong Regional Library staff and community remember Fiona Baranowski.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY – KIRSTY SWORD GUSMAO Presenting the inaugural Annual Lecture in Memory of Fiona Baranowski, Ms Sword Gusmão will share some insights into her journey from human rights activist to First Lady of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Through establishment of the Alola Foundation, she embarked upon a mission to give women a voice in the rebuilding of Timor-Leste, a nation emerging from centuries of colonial rule, including two decades of a brutal military occupation. In her presentation she will share some of the highs and lows of her work in the areas of education, women’s empowerment and maternal and child health. Thursday 10 March The High Ground, Geelong Library & Heritage Centre 6.30-7.45pm

This is a compelling window into the unnoticed recesses of Melbourne. Tuesday 10 May The High Ground, Geelong Library & Heritage Centre 6.30-7.30pm
TONI JORDAN – OUR TINY, USELESS HEARTS Toni Jordan is an internationally published author based in Melbourne.

Blockbuster is the story of Fergus Hume and his book – the biggest and fastestselling detective novel of the 1800s, and Australia’s first literary blockbuster. The book sold out its first run and it became a runaway word-of-mouth phenomenon – but its author sold the copyright for a mere fifty pounds!
