Harmony Week 16–22 March

Everyone is welcome at Libraries Tasmania

Libraries are accessible, culturally and socially safe places that are open to everyone.

It’s Harmony Week 16–22 March: time to celebrate diversity and appreciate the differences that make us all human.

The week aligns with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21 March. The theme for Harmony Week 2026 is Connecting with culture through stories.
