Yule pick up a bargain this year at our Late night Christmas shopping at the National Library Bookshop!

Stock up on Christmas gifts at the Bookshop sale tables in the Library foyer where you will find sale items that have been discounted by 30% to 50%. For a gold coin donation to the Library, Santa’s helpers will also be there to wrap any gifts you buy. 

Sale tables will remain in the foyer from Thursday 5 December to Tuesday 24 December. There will be no further discount on these ‘prices as marked’ sale items.

If you’re feeling shopped out, relax in our Foyer with an author talk and book signing from noted fantasy fiction author Isobelle Carmody with the local launch for her new Canberra-based book Comes the Night. This evening event begins at 6pm.

Members of the Friends of the National Library will be entitled to 25% off storewide all day when shopping instore on Thursday 5 December. To take advantage of exclusive discounts along with many other benefits, become a Friend of the National Library today.
