Library Orientation

  • Free

New to the State Library Victoria? It can be hard to know where to start when the building is nearly as big as the collection.

Join their librarians for a how-to on using the Library's resources, services and grand historic spaces in a session designed to make using the Library easy.

Whether you're researching your home town, looking for help ordering newspapers, or just want to find the best spot to study, their librarians are there to help you navigate the Library.
