Hush!

“A delightful set of drawings that capture the grandeur and beauty of the National Library building and the diverse range of characters that can be found exploring its rich collections or just enjoying the ambience. A lovely momento of a visit to this national icon.”—Aileen Weir, Director, Trove Collaborative Services, National Library of Australia

“What I love is Bobby’s approach. She captures moments playfully with her loose illustration style and true colours (both in a figurative and literal sense!). Through Bobby’s book, you can expect to uncover the Library secrets so that all is not as ‘hush hush’ as you would think”.—Gemma Bush, Special Collections Librarian, National Library of Australia

Inspired by her tram experience, Bobby continued sketching at the National Library of Australia, For a few weeks, Bobby spent her lunch hours capturing people and places inside this iconic Canberra institution. This book is a homage to the Library staff and the patrons of the reading rooms.

You can also buy the book from the National Library of Australia Bookshop.
