The Melbourne Athenaeum Library is currently experiencing technical difficulties with our online catalogue and access has been temporarily interrupted. We thank our members for their patience as we work to resolve the issue.
Our Ebook collection can still be accessed at https://melbourneathenaeum.overdrive.com/
Renowned librarian Richard Overell, who for 26 years oversaw the acquisitions and conservation of the rare books collection at Monash University's Louis Matheson library, has been a longtime friend of the Melbourne Athenaeum library. He shares his expertise with us through yearly talks in the library about collecting rare books as part of Rare Book Week. His talks display his extensive knowledge of book collecting across a wide range subjects including children's books, travel guides, dust jackets, and cookbooks.
