DescriptionDisplay of items celebrating Fairfield City's library services 75th anniversary.

This included a wall of notes left by library patrons sharing what they love about the library service, a drawing or a special memory. Whilst this was set up at each branch, only notes from the Whitlam branch were collected afterwards to digitise.

There was also a display made by Fairfield City Open Libraries' heritage team in the glass cabinet in front of Studio 2166. This showed historical items of both what have been a part of the library and what the library has collected overtime.
