The Friends Board has launched a monthly series of late-afternoon talks on topical issues, to be held in the State Library's Hetzel Lecture Theatre on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 5.30 - 6.30 pm (unless otherwise indicated). The initial series will have a North Terrace focus. Our speakers will be luminaries from many of our neighbouring institutions. We refer to this over the coming months as our Proximity Round.
