Ready to read and reference!
Our Research Library is full of reference books ready for you to browse and explore.
We regularly add new books to the shelves in the State Library which are searchable and browsable in the State Library Catalogue.
The books we collect support personal research across multiple disciplines and in areas of contemporary interest. As the primary collector of South Australian published material, we also hold a full range of books about South Australia and by South Australian authors.
