The Rhoda Barr Collection, established by retired lecturer Mr Bill Bar, exists to entertain its readers with a stunning array of Australian Literature. Established in 1994 and originally intended as a delightful break from mechanically geared agricultural texts, the collection contains a wide range of different Australian authors and literature.

Mr Bill Barr was an agronomist and mechanics lecturer at Hawkesbury Agricultural College from 1958 to 1978. As a tribute to his late wife Rhoda, Mr Bill Barr commenced his generous donation to the Library to enrich the teaching institution that he was strongly connected to, as well as an ongoing way to commemorate Rhoda’s life.

New books are added to this collection annually, showcasing a range of subjects including historical accounts, biographies, popular Australian culture, periodic lifestyle pieces, indigenous works and fiction.
