Join us for an enriching conference designed for teacher librarians, primary and secondary teachers and children’s librarians. In 2026 the State Library is marking its 200th Anniversary with a dynamic, year-long program reflecting on the surprising and transformative moments that have shaped this extraordinary institution.

Through keynote sessions, small group workshops and tours, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the State Library and discover new resources to enhance teaching and learning in your school or library. Libraries have never been more vital, and you are invited to be part of the State Library’s evolving story.

Whether you’re a teacher looking to inspire your students or a librarian in a public library, this conference will provide you with tools, ideas and inspiration.
