Have you ever seen a ghost at the Athenaeum? 👻
It's come to light one of Melbourne's favourite theatres is haunted by ghosts - on Friday the 13th, nonetheless! An usherette who wanted to be a singing and dancing actress refuses to leave the historic Athenaeum. @allanraskall #9News
Join the Athenaeum Library too. It's a gem. @LibraryAthena melbourneathenaeum.org.au
We are thrilled that our shelves are playing host to #Bookish, an exhibition of contemporary artists’ books by members of the @printcouncil_au. The exhibition is open to view March 17-19 and March 22-26 during our usual opening hours. @Creative_Vic @NGVMelbourne
We love our members! Some kind words from a new member, “… a more lovely, friendly, kindly staff you could not hope to find. So nice to sit and admire books in this little gem of a library in the city.” #LibrariesChangeLives #melbournelibrary
We loved having the Diploma of Library and Information Services students from @VUPolytechnic visit us today. We talked all things libraries, cataloguing, the history of the Athenaeum building, and they even saw the oldest working lift in Melbourne 🛗
You got it! “Keep your breath to cool your porridge and I shall keep mine to swell my song”
Correct! “In vain I have struggled… You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you”
It’s a sunny Wednesday in Melbourne, so that calls for our #OpeningLinesChallenge! Can you identify the book from this opening line? ✏️
After more than a decade separating facts from the fiction of enigmatic Australian author Eve Langley’s life, Melbourne writer and editor Helen Vines has drawn on contemporary evidence to tell a fascinating and poignant tale. ‘Eve Langley and The Pea Pickers’ is ready to borrow!
The first line of a book is important to get the reader hooked, so we've started an #OpeningLinesChallenge ✏️ Can you identify the book from this first line?
Congratulations to @PMILibrary's @BiblioEll and our very own @AustralianJB for making the big-time at @nlagovau!
Such wonderful music in the library from Tanya-Lee Davies, performing here tonight with Steve Lucas.
Steve Lucas joins us once again tonight to share amazing music with our members, this time with Tanya-Lee Davies.
