We love our members! Some kind words from a new member, “… a more lovely, friendly, kindly staff you could not hope to find. So nice to sit and admire books in this little gem of a library in the city.” #LibrariesChangeLives #melbournelibrary

We loved having the Diploma of Library and Information Services students from @VUPolytechnic visit us today. We talked all things libraries, cataloguing, the history of the Athenaeum building, and they even saw the oldest working lift in Melbourne 🛗

After more than a decade separating facts from the fiction of enigmatic Australian author Eve Langley’s life, Melbourne writer and editor Helen Vines has drawn on contemporary evidence to tell a fascinating and poignant tale. ‘Eve Langley and The Pea Pickers’ is ready to borrow!

The first line of a book is important to get the reader hooked, so we've started an #OpeningLinesChallenge ✏️ Can you identify the book from this first line?
