The Macquarie Street building, including the Bashir Reading Room, is temporarily closed for a major refurbishment until late 2025.

During the building work, all reading room services (except study rooms and the Children's Library), along with a temporary bookshop and cafe, are available in the Mitchell building.

Please enter the Library via the Mitchell building on Shakespeare Place.
