According to State Librarian, Dr John Vallance: “Education is at the heart of the Library’s purpose, and in our current developments we are making new opportunities for children and young people a priority.”
“Now, thanks to the imaginative generosity of Mr John B Fairfax AO, we’ll be able to provide even greater support for schools and communities as they explore the riches of their great Library.
As many as 1.2 million school students across New South Wales could benefit from the State Library’s new learning centre dedicated to inspiring new generations of young people.
The John B Fairfax Learning Centre will open for school programming in Term 4 2018. For the first time, the Library will also offer a special drop-in space for families during the school holidays, commencing Saturday 6 October.
