The Melbourne Athenaeum Library will be closed from 2:30pm on Monday February 10, 17, and 24 for routine pest control being undertaken throughout the building. Building access will be restricted at this time so no returns will be possible.
The library will be open on these dates from 10:00am until 2:30pm and regular hours on other days during this period.
The Melbourne Athenaeum enriches Melbourne’s cultural and educational life by fostering public engagement with the arts and culture, and supporting creativity.
A Management Committee of volunteers is responsible for the organisation’s governance, and every member joining the Melbourne Athenaeum becomes a custodian of a rich part of the city’s living history.
Our Patron is Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Margaret Gardner AC, Governor of Victoria.
A dedicated group of volunteers forms our Committee of Management, bringing expertise from numerous industries to their roles.
The Melbourne Athenaeum is indebted to its volunteers who provide invaluable assistance and make our organisation a special place to visit:
Perry Anderson, Lea Beranek, Sam Booth, Heather Cook, Rhonda Crandle, Norma Gates, Kimberley Hughes, Lynne Johnston, Pat Miller, Susan Munro, Dallas Semmens, Diane Therese, Elizabeth van Herk
