The Melbourne Athenaeum Library will be closed on Monday June 9 for the King's Birthday public holiday.

Sixty Years a Bookseller

When a teenaged girl started a retail business with her parents in Essendon in 1965, she could not have imagined the life-long adventure that she had just begun.

Today that girl is Kay Craddock, AM, a celebrated international figure in the world of rare and antiquarian books, a past president of the peak Australian and International organisations of antiquarian booksellers, and the founder of Melbourne Rare Book Week.

Join us to hear her story in conversation with Melbourne author and literary columnist, Jane Sullivan of The Age.

The event will be held on Monday 28 July with doors opening at 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start. This event is free for both members and non-members but bookings are essential and can be made through try booking using this link.
