The Library Book Club: When I Am Sixty-Four

Join them for the Library book club 2026 — celebrating great Australian writing, lively conversation and the joy of reading together.

Hosted in their new Library Shop, for this year's Library book club they have selected some of Australia's most engaging literary works for six evenings of thoughtful, spirited discussion.

This month, join writer and academic Roanna Gonsalves and editor of Openbook magazine Phillipa McGuinness in a group discussion of When I Am Sixty-Four by Debra Adelaide, a work of extraordinary depth and grace based on her friendship with the late Gabrielle Carey.
