Started as a subscription library in the 1820s for book-starved colonials, this Macquarie Street institution now holds over five million items across its sandstone Mitchell building and modern extension. The collections span Indigenous stories, Australian history and rare materials — all publicly accessible. The reading rooms alone justify the visit.
