The library will be closed on Friday 18th October due to an ABC Radio event taking place in the theatre and the library.
eBooks can be downloaded during this closure. If you need help setting up an eReader or downloading eBooks speak to the library staff.
Much of our city’s standing as Australia’s cultural capital can be traced back to the Melbourne Athenaeum and the role it played in the early promotion and development of music, visual arts, literature and theatre.
The Melbourne Athenaeum’s writer-in-residence program provides tangible support to an established playwright with financial support and a creative and inspirational place to work.
Members enjoy a public event, such as a rehearsed play reading, as the culmination of this annual program.
