This regional town will soon be home to Chinese literature treasure-trove

Published
More than 100 kilometres west of Melbourne, the Chinese community is preparing to open a library, housing one of the largest collections of Chinese books in the southern hemisphere. The library will be in the regional Victorian city of Ballarat, providing a chance to highlight the contribution Chinese Australians have had in not only that city, but across regional Australia.
