Read the bushfire messages
In response to the tragic bushfires of 2009, people across Australia and the world wrote messages of compassion for the Victorians who were affected.
Their condolences are captured in a set of precious message books now housed in the Library. A selection of messages is on display until 17 March.
Kick back this summer with a book chosen just for you by Maura the Clairvoyant Librarian.
As part of the Summer Read program, Maura will be visiting local libraries around Victoria with her Famous Reading Machine to predict which books are right for you.
