Freshly refurbished, The Ian Potter Queen's Hall is a stunning reading room housing books from the Library's Australian literature, poetry, drama and young adult fiction collections.

Here you can:

  • read books from our literature collections
  • play a game of chess on the mezzanine level
  • connect to our free wi-fi
  • admire the Library's heritage architecture
