In connection with the publication of The Library That Made Me: 200 Years of the State Library of NSW, an illustrious line-up of guests reflect on the libraries that shaped them as readers and writers.

With CEO of Red Room Poetry Jonty Claypole, writer Winnie Dunn (Dirt Poor Islanders), The Future Library manager Anne Beate Hovind, playwright Suzie Miller (Prima Facie) and poet Jazz Money (mark the dawn). Hosted by Phillipa McGuinness.
