We're open Tuesday 26 January 2021, with some changes to services and opening hours.

Despite the challenges of Covid, the Library has continued its quest to bring more of its collections into public view with the opening of the new Map Rooms next month.

From catastrophic weather events to a global pandemic and Black Lives Matters protests – the defining images of 2020 captured by Sydney Morning Herald photographers will go on public display for the first time at the Library from Saturday 16 January.

From Sunday 3 January, Library readers, visitors and staff will be required to wear a face mask.

With funding support of $12.3M from the NSW Government, the State Library is on track to become fully accessible to the public for the first time.
