This special evening will start with an introduction from well-known author Stephanie Owen Reeder, who has been fossicking around in the treasure trove that is the Library’s children’s literature collection for over 30 years. As Stephanie has discovered, the Library’s comprehensive children’s literature collections include everything from manuscripts, ephemera, bookplates and original artwork, to games, postcards, maps and collectors’ editions of classic Australian children’s books. After the talk, you will have the opportunity to view many of these treasures in a display curated specially for Friends.
Join us for delicious refreshments, conversation and happy recollections of childhood reading.
