This spring, the library brings live music outdoors. Spring Sessions will transform the Macquarie Street forecourt into a vibrant, welcoming hub for all ages, spotlighting some of Sydney’s best local musicians.  

Each week, catch free sunset performances featuring one live act and one DJ, plus relaxed seating, a pop-up bar and something to read from our street library.  

This is a drop-in event with no bookings required. Full line-up and set times to be announced in mid-August. Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear more.

This event is part of the library’s 200th Anniversary Festival, an exciting six-week program of performances, talks and free live music.
