Custodian Patrons play a special role in the growth of the State Library by making an annual donation.
Custodian Patrons are a special group of supporters who make an annual donation to the Foundation. Each year, these donations support a specific project including the acquisition of new collection items, the preservation of rare artefacts, and the development of innovative public programs and exhibitions. Custodian donors have generously contributed more than $2.4 million to the Library since the program's inception.
2018-19 Appeal
Last year we asked our Custodian donors to support the establishment of a special Children’s Library in the Macquarie Street building, offering direct access to the best works for children and young adults written and published in Australia, with a representative sample of classic works from beyond our shores. The new Children’s Library opened on 12 October 2019.
