Together State Library Victoria & Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) invite you to delve into the question of the day: where’s the source?

In an evolving information landscape where Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and services are being deployed to process information, guide decisions, and deliver results, where traditional models of creation and publication are under pressure and mis and dis information are rife, libraries have a key role to play.

What possibilities and challenges should we be considering? How do we grow? And where’s the source?

With free Wi-Fi and storage lockers, food and beverage options, books, magazines and music to enjoy, dedicated quiet zones and a beautiful forecourt to take in the sunshine, the Library is an excellent base for tourists and a home away from home.

Art lovers, history buffs, holidaying families and tranquillity seekers will all find something to love at the Library. Its spectacular spaces, including the iconic domed reading room, house thousands of items reflecting Victoria's diverse cultural and social history.

Be sure to see Ned Kelly's armour, pore over rare books, first editions and significant artworks, and join a free tour to learn about the building's fascinating history. Come and experience the magic of the State Library Victoria - an essential stop on your Melbourne itinerary.
