Spotlight on Multicultural Services in Public Libraries

2024 List of Multicultural Events - Last updated 18 November 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 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.

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.
