Happy anniversary to the State Library of South Australia. Its predecessor, the South Australian Literary Association was formed in London on this day 29 August 1834 - 2 years before colonisation. See some books donated by its leader Robert Gouger in the Mortlock Chamber. – at Adelaide, South Australia

Hundreds of people strolling North Tce #Adelaide last night for #Illuminate.
The pop-up #Gin bar in the Mortlock Library definitely the parental highlight.
Nice to see the Her Excellency the Governor feature on Gov House too!

We all know that maps are cool — but even cooler is a never-before-seen map, complete with a scandalous history. 🗺️🫢
When @SLSA received the Town of Port Gawler map, made in 1840, they were confused — no town of Port Gawler has ever existed.

Next up, it's @SLSA! Did you know the library is home to a Dent & Sons clock from 1885 which is still wound by hand every week? Their nominee for the 2023 #DublinLitAward is Of Fangs and Talons by @math_nicolas, translated by Sam Taylor.
