The redevelopment of the State Library will acknowledge a shift in the role of the State Library away from a physical resource focusing on books and collections, to an unlimited source of information. This will meet the need of all South Australians living in the city and country alike.
Libraries are the most popular cultural venues in Australia.
The State Library attracts mores Than 600,000 visits each year. The State Library redevelopment is part of the Government's 10 year plan to rebuild and revitalise the State's major cultural institutions along North Terrace. This will be linked with cultural tourism marketing campaigns and the upgrade of North Terrace.
