Openbook campaign

Openbook is for people who love to read

 

Openbook is the State Library’s lavish quarterly magazine. Cover of Openbook summer 2023 issue

It’s for anyone interested in new writing, fresh ideas, history and contemporary photography.

Inside each issue you’ll find stories, reviews, illustrations, author profiles, recipes, reviews, collection highlights, a quiz and much more.

We hope that readers across the state can enjoy Openbook, which is why we send out a free copy to every library in NSW. We want public libraries to display the magazine on their shelves and help spread the word to their members. We have sent you some postcards to help!
