{{ :2024_nsw_public_library_multicultural_events-public.xlsx |2024 List of Multicultural Events}} - Last updated 21 March 2024

In line with the 50th anniversary of the State Library's Bulk Loan Service to public libraries, we are compiling a list of any multicultural events and activities that NSW Public Libraries have organised or are organising for 2024.

**Submitting your event**
  * Enter your event and activity details in the [[https://plsnsw.wufoo.com/forms/nsw-public-library-multicultural-events-for-2024/|NSW Public Library Multicultural Events for 2024 form]].
  * This form will be open from **March - December 2024**.
  * Each form can take a maximum of 5 events/ activities. 
  * Please submit a new form if you have more than 5 entries. You can enter new events throughout the year.

**Why we are compiling this list**
  * The compiled list will be shared with all NSW Public libraries.
  * You can use the list to direct your community to events throughout NSW.
  * See what other libraries are doing. You might be inspired by the creative events and decide to organise one for your library.

Feel free to contact **mc.bulk.loans@sl.nsw.gov.au** if you have any questions.
