About this event

Libraries have long been sanctuaries of reflection, where people of all ages can find themselves in quiet company, surrounded by books. In our hurried world of digital distractions, the unplugged movement calls us back to this timeless experience.

In the historic Mitchell Library Reading Room, time slows and the hum fades. Bring a book, a sketchpad, your curiosity — or take time to simply be, to dream.

In our heritage Paintings Galleries explore puzzles, art materials and hands-on analogue activities inviting creativity and shared experiences.

Share the joy of discovery in the Library’s magical spaces. Come by yourself, with your family or friends, and reconnect with yourself, others and the physical world.

This event is held in partnership with Vivid Sydney.
