The library is E21 & this shows both the Botany & Barker street parking stations.

Driving
Pay parking is available in the upper levels of either Barker Street or Botany Street parking, or there is a ground level parking space in front of the Botany Street car park. (refer to the map). See:
https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/atoz/Parking.html


Regarding the cost of parking @ UNSW: on the top levels of the parking
stations it is minimum $6.00 which gives 5 hours parking. At the base of
the parking station near the Library (Botany Street entrance) it is
possible to get two hour parking, pay by the hour, but that is $3.00 per
hour, so works out as the same cost. The machines on the bottom take
coins only, the top floor machine also accepts credit cards.
Public transport
There is a free shuttle bus going from COFA to the Kensington campus.

4.3 Themes for Meetings (Item 6)

Report from the NSW Chapter (excluding financial details) as tabled at the 2008 AGM.

Yesterday I attended my first ARLIS meeting, held at COFA. We were shown an interesting exhibition with paintings by Australian Modernists Roy de Maistre and Roland Wakelin, based on de Maistre’s colour-music theory. Colour music theory was a means of colour harmonisation based on a correlation between the colours of the spectrum (Red,Orange, Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet) and notes of the musical scale (ABCDEFG). De Maistre created colour keyboards, scales, wheels and studies, which were then used to produce abstract works. The results culminated in the Colour in Art exhibition in Sydney in 1919. This exhibition called Colour in Art – Revisiting 1919 exhibits de Maistre and Wakelin’s colour-music paintings and studies from 1918 to the mid 1930s.
If you are interested here is a link I found about Colour-music theory
