The Library Book Club: When I Am Sixty-Four
Wednesday 5 August from 6pm to 7pm
Join us for the Library book club 2026 — celebrating great Australian writing, lively conversation and the joy of reading together.
Hosted in our new Library Shop, for this year’s Library book club we have selected some of Australia’s most engaging literary works for six evenings of thoughtful, spirited discussion.
This month, join writer and academic Roanna Gonsalves and editor of Openbook magazine Phillipa McGuinness in a group discussion of When I Am Sixty-Four by Debra Adelaide, a work of extraordinary depth and grace based on her friendship with the late Gabrielle Carey.
As a Book Club attendee, present your ticket at the Library Shop to receive a 20% discount on each featured book.
Prior to each session, you’ll receive guided reading notes to enrich the conversation and spark ideas for discussion.
Light refreshments available for purchase from The Library Café from 5 pm. Book club discussions will commence at 6 pm inside The Library Shop.
