Inscribe a plaque in the La Trobe Reading Room

  • A commemorative plaque in the State Library Victoria reading room
  • An inscribed bronze plaque on a wooden background
  • A row of desks with bronze plaques inscribed into them
  • A bronze plaque inscribed to Margaret Petherick on a wooden background
  • Photo of desks in the La Trobe reading room through an archway with a light globe in the centre

Have you noticed the bronze plaque dedications secured upon the heritage desks in the magnificent La Trobe Reading Room during one of your visits to State Library Victoria?

The plaques carry not just a name, but a story lived, and they play an incredibly important role in supporting and maintaining the Library.

Perhaps you are looking for the perfect way to celebrate a significant milestone, or you might want to express appreciation to someone important in your life, or it could be a way to create a lasting tribute to someone you love, to have a place to visit and remember them after they’re gone.

You can leave your mark on the Library through a personalised plaque in the iconic room for future generations to behold.
