Spotlight on Multicultural Services in Public Libraries

2024 List of Multicultural Events - Final version updated 18 November 2024

In line with the 50th anniversary of the State Library's Bulk Loan Service to public libraries, the State Library of NSW compiled a list of multicultural events and activities organised by NSW Public Libraries in 2024.

Why we compiled this list

• The compiled list will be shared with all NSW Public libraries.
• 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.

A series of short webinars highlighting excellence in multicultural services in public libraries was held throughout 2022. These were to capture information as the workforce changes through retirements, staff changes and restructures.
