Tal R. • November 20, 2009Grab lunch from one of the surrounding food courts and sit on the State Library lawn on a sunny day for some excellent people watching and a great atmosphere
陳玟成 Edwin D. • February 9, 2015Great library with a cafe right inside. You can grab a cuppa while reading your favorite title. You can also play a few games of table tennis to workout after long hours of reading.
Paulina L. • June 23, 2015Amazing architecture! Definitely my favourite spot in Melbourne for an afternoon read
Tomfoolery • November 15, 2014Small but lovely library. The building is awesome too, great 'modernist, international style' structure with full length glass windows on all sides
Kelly I. • August 17, 2015Fab new library and community hub - top-notch facilities, wifi & lots of nooks (& books) for working. Cafe nextdoor @wildtimorcoffee serves different goodies like beetroot, ginger & sweet potato soup
Amy D. • August 7, 2013My cellphone was stolen here. So taking care of your belongings even it is a library for informed people.
Stephen W. • December 31, 2013Unlike other libraries, this library doesn't use the Dewey Decimal system. Instead, books and DVDs arranged similar to a bookstore.
David H. • December 16, 2011We close at 5pm on Thursday, December 22. Happy Christmas. May your turkey be well-stuffed.
Jun H. • March 6, 2015Such a cool place to hang out in between classes. There's so many novels, manga and comics to choose from! You can even rent DVDs from here. Coolest library ever.
