Out of lockdown and out . to buy a book. At least that’s what the seven general bookshops within the boundaries of the City of Melbourne are hoping.
They have come up with a new scheme – Melbourne City Reads. For the next four months, the shops – Dymocks Melbourne, Hill of Content, Mary Martin Southbank, North Melbourne Books, The Paperback Bookshop, Readings Carlton, and Readings State Library – will offer a particular new book by a Victorian author for sale with 25 per cent off the cover price.

The City of Melbourne has completed a repair and maintenance blitz throughout the latest lockdown.
In the past week, essential workers have focused on repairing roads, filling potholes, fixing footpaths, cleaning streets and maintaining the city’s parks and gardens.
Lord Mayor Sally Capp said getting the basics right and keeping people in jobs was vital during this tough period.
“Our Citywide crews and dedicated staff have been working seven days a week to ensure Melbourne is in top shape once restrictions are lifted,” the Lord Mayor said.
“In the past week alone our crews have undertaken more than 250 repair and maintenance jobs, which highlights our focus on getting the basics right,” the Lord Mayor said.
