About the event

A traveller’s guide to the world’s greatest libraries

Join the Friends of the National Library for an enlightening talk on the joy of library tourism.

From brutalist monuments to tiny local spaces, visiting libraries while traveling can be as culturally illuminating as exploring local markets.

The Australian Library and Information Association’s Deputy CEO Trish Hepworth will explore how libraries offer unique windows into local cultures - revealing what communities value through their collections, programs, and spaces.
