Enlighten 2024 at the Library

Our Enlighten community picnic was back in 2024. Once again, we extended our opening hours on the Friday and Saturday evenings between 1 and 11 March with free activities for all ages running on our Podium and in our Foyer.

Bring your family and friends along for a memorable evening at the National Library, in the heart of the Enlighten festival!

Outside our front door, the Library was transformed into a lawn where you could play giant chess, learn to hula hoop, have a game of mini golf or get your face painted.

Attendees were invited to bring their own picnic or purchase a bite to eat from one of the food stalls (including gelato, glow fairy floss, gozleme, crepes and rosti), then sit back and relax in one of our lawn picnic spots as they watched the projections.

Inside our Foyer there were storybook readings from local authors, as well as tabletop games, colouring-in activities and a community collage project to take part in.

Local author readings included:
