National Library of Australia

The National Library of Australia collects, protects and provides access to millions of physical items and billions of digital records about Australia and Australians.

Our programs introduce Students to the role of the National Library and offer a behind the scenes peek into the inner workings of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest library.

We offer engaging experiences linked to Australian Curriculum content and capabilities for Years 5 to 12.

The Library’s exhibitions, collections, and reading rooms act as a springboard to find out more about Australia’s history and culture.

Our programs are interactive, value Student voice and interpret significant objects in the collection.
