What is Green Market?
Green Market is NLB’s annual event that celebrates sustainable living and connects the community to green groups and initiatives they can support. This year’s theme, The Sea-cret Edition, dives deep to explore the wonders of the sea and embrace our interconnections with it, urging understanding and action to safeguard its fragile beauty.
Catch us from 25 May 2024 at selected public libraries, and at
Central Public Library from 8-9 June 2024 for the main event.
The full events calendar can be found at the bottom of this page.
