It’s been a year to celebrate at State Library Victoria. In 2017 we revealed the designs for our Vision 2020 redevelopment, raised $27.7 million to help fund the project, and started construction. Along the way, our visitors made us the busiest state library in Australia. We added more than 28,000 items to our collection, including amazing works from Rick Amor and Rennie Ellis, and answered more than 200,000 of your questions. Thank you for your support this year. We appreciate it. | State Libra
