All Year Five pupils deserve the chance to stroll through the Mitchell Library which holds more than four million books. The library was started by David Scott Mitchell. David was a famous book collector who was only interested in rare, one-of-a-kind books. He collected many books before realizing that, when he died, no one would be there to look after them. Out of options, Mitchell donated the precious books to the library where they now sit today.
Your child will appreciate the effort that the librarians took to provide such an experience to go through. The New South Wales State Library is a wonderful building to spend time in with friends and family.
