Rethink, Reinvent, Rejuvenate was Kevin Hennah’s first library-specific workshop. With a strong focus on realistically achievable ideas for improving presentation and building usage, it drove his transition from retail to libraries, resulting in invitations to deliver onsite workshops in 16 countries. Two decades and over 2,000 consultations later, Rethink-2 showcases advice that has delivered the greatest impact and importantly, couples this with building blocks for the future:

- The evolution of library display and promotion

- Using shelving to create an inspired layout

- Effective space management

- Creating cohesive identity and décor

- Catering to emerging needs and expectations in both public libraries and education

Kyabram P–12 College celebrated Booktacular 2025, a week-long literary event held during Book Week. With the theme “Book an Adventure,” students from Prep to Year 12 kicked off the celebrations at the annual Costume Parade & Picnic, proudly sharing their favourite book characters.
The library became a hub of creativity and activity, buzzing with author visits, orienteering workshops, VR adventures, gallery exhibitions, theatre performances, the Scholastic Book Fair, and a family movie night. A standout highlight was the library expo stalls, where students explored diverse topics including mapping, astronomy, evolution, First Nations knowledge, animals, and travel.
