TOURS OF THE SOCIETY

The Friends of the State Library conduct two types of tours. One of the Spence Wing, which doesn't impinge on the Royal Geographical Society and another of the Mortlock Wing.

The Mortlock Wing tours are currently
1. Public tours at 10.30am on the second Wednesday and fourth Friday of each month and
2. Group tours which can be on any weekday morning.
Both the public and group Mortlock tours need to be booked in advance.

The tours start with the history and architecture of the Mortlock Wing and cover the  Royal Geographical Society Library and collection, Friends members lounge, main chamber, Sir Josiah Symon Library, Crawford Room, galleries, conservation and reformatting sections and finish with the exhibitions. Altogether about one and an half hours.
