The Friends annual ‘White Gloves’ event offers a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with highlights from the National Library’s Collection.

In 2023 we will explore a broad range of food and drink related items—from menus and tablecloths to paintings and serving-ware—with a specially curated display for one night only. Canberra food legend Janet Jeffs will deliver a short talk sharing with us her knowledge and passion for cooking, farming and seasonal produce, as we delve into the culinary delights within the Library’s collections.

Drinks and canapes will be served following the collection viewing. Numbers are strictly limited, we recommend booking early to secure your tickets.
