Discover the State Library at the Port Pirie Regional Library
South Australia's Youth Week is an annual event that celebrates the talents, achievements, and contributions of young people in the state.
The Port Pirie Cultural Precinct, (incorporating both the Port Pirie Regional library and the Port Pirie Tourism and Arts Centre) will host a series of activities, workshops, forums, and events designed to engage, empower, and inspire young people aged 12 to 25. The week aims to highlight youth issues, promote youth participation, and provide opportunities for networking, skill development, and community involvement.
