Cancelled: Lawn Library pop-up at Redfern Community Centre

*The safety of our communities, customers and staff is our top priority. City of Sydney staff are monitoring developments relating to Covid-19 (novel coronavirus) daily and assessing any potential impact on city services and events. We have also introduced a number of precautionary measures to protect members of the community, our volunteers and our staff. 

We have cancelled or postponed all non-essential City of Sydney events until further notice including this event.  

Thank you for your support of our City of Sydney Library events and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. 

We’re bringing the best of our City of Sydney Library to Redfern Community Centre. Over 11 days, enjoy a spectacular series of free talks, workshops and fun activities for the whole family.

Get hands-on with workshops in basket weaving, ceramics, virtual reality and Wikipedia editing. There’s also a Koori cooking demonstration with lunch provided, live music performances and a film screening of The Australian Dream.

Bring the little ones to experience all the magic of storytime and rhymetime, with special guests including Aunty Kathy Dodd Farrawell and Luke Carroll.
