The libraries that shaped us — and how they're changing

from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

One of the oldest libraries in Australia, the State Library of New South Wales, is marking a significant milestone this year. And as part of its 200th anniversary celebrations, the library has collated a collection of stories about how libraries have changed us. Beyond offering bookworms a portal to explore the world, libraries have evolved into the ultimate third space, offering a community living room to people who need it most.
