Melbourne Library

A friend took me to the Reading Room of the Melbourne Library when I was there last year for work. What a room! Lovely. Very high vaulted ceiling as you can see from teh pics, and lovely old wooden desks with green reading lamps. Quotes from authors on the walls above bookshelves. I recomend a visit if you haven't been.
