Year 8KLIC Excursion: State Library of Victoria

7 March 2024

The Year 8 KLIC class recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to the State Library Victoria, where they delved into the rich history and iconic spaces of this cultural landmark. Established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, it marks Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world.

Our tour leader Ms Felicity, a passionate volunteer, led an hour long tour that left us inspired and speechless. The tour began with an exploration of the magnificent heritage reading rooms, including the renowned La Trobe Reading Room and the Redmond Barry Reading Room. As students browsed through collections of books, they marvelled at the sheer grandeur and historical significance of our state library.

One of the main features of the tour was the Queen's Hall, adorned with fluted Ionic columns and boasting breathtaking architecture, it was indeed a sight to behold. We were mesmerised by the grand staircase and the domed reading room, which exuded an air of elegance and splendour.

However, the true highlight for students was the opportunity to view Ned Kelly鈥檚 iconic armour on display. This glimpse into Australia's history left a lasting impression on the students, reinforcing the idea that a library is not just a repository of books but a treasure trove of knowledge and culture.

Overall, the visit to State Library Victoria was a remarkable journey of discovery for both students and teachers alike. It served as a reminder of the importance of libraries in our society and the endless possibilities that await within their walls. We highly recommend this tour to all students and educators, as it offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the wonders of our state library鈥檚 history and culture.
