Last time I was at the State Library was in the RMIT Cartography days around the 1977 era. This place is huge and getting bigger. The art gallery left, then the museum left, so more space for the books. But not just books although there are now 4.4 million of them, mostly in Ballarat where they can be retrieved over night. There are still exhibitions, historical displays weddings, lectures and you can also read a book. But only for reference not for lending. The tour lasted 90 minutes and that was trying to be quick.
