In connection with the publication of The Library That Made Me: 200 Years of the State Library of NSW, an illustrious line-up of guests reflect on the libraries that shaped them as readers and writers. Featuring Norweigan urban developer, curator and cultural producer Anne Beate Hovind, author and host of The Secret Life of Books Jonty Claypole, Tongan-Australian writer and general manager of Sweatshop Literacy Movement Winnie Dunn, award-winning playwright and novelist Suzie Miller and Wiradjuri poet and artist Jazz Money.
From tiny mobile school libraries to the Mitchell Library Reading Room, hear about how these hubs of writing, reading and creativity sparked something magical in some of the world’s finest thinkers.
