    We’ve made the difficult decision to close the Library and cancel upcoming programs from 16 March. We’re really sad to close our doors but feel this is best for the safety and wellbeing of our visitors, staff, volunteers and the broader community. Read: slv.vic.gov.au/closure

    It’s #InternationalCatDay! Back in the day, some libraries had a trusty cat or two to stop their books being nibbled by hungry rodents. We don't have a resident feline at the Library, but we have a few in our collection via bit.ly/cataloguecats
