We proudly stand alongside like-minded organisations who work with us to impact the lives of Queenslanders through improved literacy and digital skills, new knowledge and research through Fellowships and Awards, documenting Queensland’s esteemed business history and actively protecting our heritage collections.

As custodian of Queensland’s cultural, intellectual and social achievements, State Library is an inspiring and wondrous place. Our collections, learning programs, exhibitions and events aim to inspire lives in lasting and meaningful ways. State Library’s partnership with state and local government creates a statewide network of over 320 public libraries and Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKCs), with over two million members.

We invite you to join with us and make a positive difference by becoming a State Library sponsor.

Your corporate values can be aligned with meaningful exhibitions, public programming and events, cultural and heritage collections, and educational programs through our Schools Engagement services.

Our sponsorship benefits will take you behind the scenes of one of Queensland’s most-loved cultural institutions and inspire curious minds through events and collections. Partnering with our regional programs can also place you at the heart of communities outside of Brisbane in a meaningful way.
