The State Library of Victoria
The State Library of Victoria is the central library of the state, located in Melbourne. The library holds over 2 million books and 16,000 serials, including the diaries of the city's founders, John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner, and the folios of Captain James Cook, and also houses the original armour of Ned Kelly.
The landmark Domed Reading Room opened in 1913. The octagonal space was designed to hold over a million books and up to 500 readers. It is 34.75 m in both diameter and height, and its oculus is nearly 5 m wide. The dome was the largest of its type in the world on completion.
