LAUNCESTON Library celebrated National Library Day with an early Valentine's Day theme, where every visitor collected a free romance novel.

The day was an opportunity for members of the public to celebrate what libraries do and "discover what they have to offer." Visitors left comments on heart shaped notes.

A mum wrote: 'We'd be lost without this fab service' and her daughter wrote: 'Libraries help you learn and you can meet people here'.
