We visited this large library and enjoyed the exhibitions and library facilities. Everything is well laid out and a it's a perfect place for reading as well as getting some work done. Besides books, there are computer facilities here for public use and a nice cafe with both indoor and outdoor dining areas.

A library of the nation, a great place to learn and think. I brought my children and their children's space is not that big or fancy but has lots of great books around for them to read. The bookstore has lots of stuff and their cafe is usually pretty busy. I prefer to use their eResource, all you need to do is register a library card with your ID and access their website. Most of the resources are free to use and also include lots of other countries' databases.

It's quite a surprise for a library as the Treasures Gallery has one of the best collections of early Australian historical items including Captain Cook's journal. Worth a visit, didn't take long, and has a great bookshop and cafe.

Went to see free exhibition (Cook and the Pacific) with the kids, one in a pram. Staff were great, no issues. Will need to go back sans children, so I can have a proper look. Not the first exhibition I have seen there, always well curated and full of interesting items. Great location overlooking the lake, surrounded by public art and part of the parliamentary triangle. Has a cafe, bookshop, paid parking. They have a reading room too.

National Library of Australia is beautifully refurbished and well organized resource centre located adjacent to Lake Burley Griffen. A good cuppa coffee with Raisin Toast works well in the stained glass ambience of Bookplate... NLA Definitely well worth a visit to get a piece of history art and Books here...
