Abstract
Joy Whiteside describes the expansion of the St Joseph’s College Geelong library to create a dedicated Reading Room. To enhance the space the Quotations Project offered the community the opportunity to submit their selections for quotations that would be painted onto the new Reading Room walls. This project enhanced the space and offered all members of the community a chance to voice their valued opinion.
