Sunday 19 April from 10am to 5pm
Be among the first to explore the Library’s 200th Anniversary Exhibitions and immersive installations at this special Open Day. Enjoy special displays of collection highlights and discover some of the people and moments behind the Library’s remarkable history.
Join tours led by exhibition curators and discover stories that have inspired generations. Whether you’re a frequent visitor or stepping inside the glorious Library buildings for the first time, there will be something for everyone.
Including families! We will have many hands-on activities across the Library — creative play in the JB Fairfax Learning Centre and Children’s Library, and interactive experiences designed for young visitors. Fans of Pamela Allen can meet beloved characters from her picture books, including Mr McGee and Alexander. And there will be a special performance by the incredible Lah-Lah band — including singalongs.
There will also be live music throughout the day featuring artists Cooee, Indira Elias and DOBBY.
Bring yourself, or your whole family, and be part of this milestone moment.
Open all day from 10 am to 5 pm.
