A new look for 2010
On Saturday 28 November you will see a new look for the State Library website.
Our homepage will showcase our new logo and a range of great new features.
Enjoy snapshots of our collection, upcoming exhibitions and events and behind-the-scenes images that capture the life of the Library.
Link to our fabulous ONE hundred micro site as we count-down to the Mitchell Library’s 100th birthday on 9 March 2010.
A dynamic content area will display our latest acquisitions, recent additions to Flickr and popular search terms used on our site.
The search box will be more prominently displayed to provide improved access to our resources, catalogues and search tools. The catalogue has been enhanced to include tagging, reviews and links to similar books. And the Manuscripts, Oral History and Pictures catalogue has a new search engine giving faster and better search results.
Watch out for the change of look this coming Saturday!

Preparing for our centenary
In 2010 the Mitchell Library celebrates its centenary. An exciting year-long program is planned to acknowledge the Library’s remarkable achievements and ongoing contribution to Australian cultural life.
In preparation for this landmark year, parts of the Mitchell wing and the Galleries will undergo essential building work. This work will result in a refreshed gallery space, more visitor-friendly public areas and a new air-conditioning system.
Please note:
-
The Mitchell Library remains open, however the front doors of the Mitchell wing will be closed until February 2010.
-
Services in the Mitchell Library Reading Room will not be affected.
-
To access the Mitchell Library, please use the Macquarie Street entrance.
-
The Library Galleries are closed, and will re-open in March 2010 with our landmark exhibition - ONE hundred - to celebrate the centenary of the Mitchell Library.
Every effort has been made to keep disturbances to a minimum. However, there may be some noise disruptions from time to time. We apologise for any inconvenience this work may cause.
For further information please contact the Library on 02 9273 1414
