Meet the kids who co-designed Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter

12 February 2020

'Just seeing all the kids playing together, reading books, it makes me feel really proud and happy that I played a part in making that happen, and ... I love walking in here' – Frankie.

Hear from some enthusiastic members of the Children's Advisory Committee, whose ideas about the Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter and its programs have shaped it into the '99.9% great' space that it is!

The Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter, supported by Gandel Foundation, is a free, purpose-built space at State Library Victoria for children aged up to 12 years (and their parents and carers) to read, learn and play, with an associated program of activities.
