Jolabokaflod 2025

Join us for this lovely Christmas Eve tradition!

Jólabókaflóð (Yule Book Flood) is a much-loved Icelandic tradition where books are exchanged on Christmas Eve, followed by a cosy night of reading with hot chocolate in hand.  

Glen Eira Libraries is once again bringing the tradition to life! Drop in to pick up a free second-hand book to keep, chat with our friendly team, and enjoy a complimentary barista-made hot chocolate or coffee. 

Suitable for all ages. No bookings required — just turn up!
