We offer a suite of education programs for primary and secondary school students.
Our student programs comprise self-guided and guided tours, workshops and customised learning experiences. All are staffed by trained educators or specialist librarians and are linked toAusVELS. Additionally, many are supported by rich online teaching resources and professional development packages.
You can request a student visit, find out more about visiting with students, or browse our range of student programs and services.
The library has a lot more going on than shelves of books. You can play chess, workshop projects with your friends, check out what's hanging in our galleries, watch films, listen to music, and browse newspapers and magazines. Check what's on for listings of our events and exhibitions.
The building itself – an icon of heritage architecture – is worth a thorough investigation. The history of the library is evident in almost every room – there are Victorian quirks and curlicues, grand marble staircases, panes of stained glass, and hand-hewn bluestone walls.
Take a virtual tour of the library and explore 360° views of the library's beautiful galleries and heritage spaces.

Bus parking:
We provide free, temporary bus parking in the 30-minute bus parking bay outside the conference centre & theatrette.

A stroll around the library, an iconic Melbourne landmark recognised for its heritage architecture, reveals much about its fascinating history. The building, which is in fact made up of 23 buildings, takes up an entire city block and was constructed over many years, beginning in 1854. Highlights include the spectacular domed La Trobe Reading Room and the splendid Redmond Barry Reading Room.
