They have some really interesting books located at second floor which worth a visit if you are a person that have interest in various culture and interesting facts. The library itself is rather well maintained. I personally find Melbourne CBD is quite boring thus if you have nothing to do, you may spend a day or half in the library... More

The State Library has so much to offer. Check their website for exhibitions and attractions. The paintings on display are fantastic. The reading room (including the dome) are gorgeous. Step back in time here and immerse yourself in days gone by. If you can book a guided tour do so as many treasures await behind closed doors.

This beautiful building houses a lot of services freely available to the general public. No membership required. Fast internet desktops, free wifi, hot desks and even computer games. When I migrated to Australia with little more than a suitcase, this libraby helped me out enourmously: I found my job, house and car with the free internet right here. Thanks! Will... More

Go see the dome. It's awesome. The free exhibitions are really well done and impressive. If you like libraries, this is your place.

The library is such a hidden gem, almost didn't go there because it's a library. But this, this library, isn't just your normal library. Check it out!

What can I say but it's free couple hours of entertainment! The Ned Kelly collection and armour are worth it alone!

Brilliant. There is so much to do & see, I visit it every day. There is a tremendous array of literature & there is also plenty of up to date computers & facilities to use. The architecture is magnificent & a lovely place to visit when you need somewhere quiet to go. Their souvenir shop has an excellent variety of... More
