Description
The La Trobe Reading Room’s circular desk arrangement beneath the dome is one of Melbourne’s most photographed interiors. But this is no relic: people actually come here to study and work, and the wide, open interior is built for it. If you bring children, level 1’s quarters hide a two-storey castle play space, plus a Lego model of the library with trivia.
