The South Australian Parliamentary Library, in Parliament House on North Terrace, dates from the 1850s and is a legal deposit library. While it exists to serve the needs of MPs and their staff, it houses an amazing number of unique historical treasures from the past. We will be shown a range of these during our visit.
