Doors open 4.15pm for a 4.45pm start. The program will be broadcast from 5.10pm to 6pm.
In the digital age, do libraries and books have a future? The Internet has opened up a world of information, so will this mean the end of the bricks and mortar library?
Radio National’s Australia Talks program will host a panel discussion featuring Bob Stein of the Institute of the Future of the Book, State Librarian Lea Giles-Peters and Hamilton Wilson of Wilson Architects on how libraries are connecting online and re-inventing themselves.
Join the audience at the State Library, and listeners in the rest of the country, for a live broadcast of Australia Talks hosted by Paul Barclay and have your say on the future of libraries.
