The Library That Made Me - Livestream

The Library That Made Me Live from Sydney to Moss Vale via Civic Centre Theatrette Tuesday 24 February at 6pm

Join us for a special livestreamed event from the State Library of NSW straight to Moss Vale to celebrate the launch of the Library’s 200th Anniversary book The Library That Made Me, featuring an illustrious line-up of contributors to the book reflecting on the libraries that shaped them as readers and writers.

From tiny mobile libraries to the grand Mitchell Library, the seriousness of university libraries or the tragedy of Sri Lanka’s Jaffna Public Library, hear about how these spaces for reading, creativity and refuge sparked something magical in some of Australia’s finest thinkers. Hear from Shankari Chandran, Dr Kate Evans, Grace Karskens, Thomas Keneally AO, Bruce Pascoe, and Phillipa McGuinness in this livestream, without having to travel to Sydney!
