State Library Victoria Excursion

The Library Action Group went on an excursion to the State Library Victoria. We began with a tour, before attending the Living Library workshop where we created an online exhibition. The exhibition can be viewed here:

Here are some photos of the day of the excursion. You can click on them to enlarge.

The group began by researching the people who were in the library. Why were they there? What were they doing? We found out that many people were there to do research. Others came for the free wi-fi. Many told us that they liked the ambience.

We looked at the things on display. We found out later that only half the contents of the library are books. 

We learned how stereoscopes work.

Some of us were intrigued by the documentary of the Great War.

We dressed like gentlemen.
