Kat . • December 10, 2019Absolutely love the Hansen Hall - relatively quiet, natural lightings, drinks allowed, free and reliable WiFi, and plentiful of outlets to charge your laptop. Great for studying / working!
Ren S. • August 7, 2012Awsome free wifi and computers for student,traveller and people, why wasting your money go to cyber cafe while u can use this amenities for free :) cheers mates
Josh W. • August 8, 2015A great hidden gem in the CBD. Don't need to live close to be a member. Great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Tegan G. • February 18, 2013I love this idea! I wish we had one back home in Newcastle, then again all the derros would probably just steal/vandalise the place...
Iván F. • April 23, 2012Some people actually come to the library looking for a quiet place to study. Be polite to them by keeping noise to the minimum!
Open House Melbourne • July 15, 2013The Melbourne Athenaeum is the home of the oldest public institution in Victoria. Its also the site of the first Melbourne Council meetings
Ash H. • December 19, 2009Good coffee and library style benches make for good magazine, newspaper reading or flipping open the laptop.
Hilmi H. • February 13, 2011If you think the library is too crowded, try the lawn. The grass is smooth and the people are studious ( though we know they are not actually reading!)
Paul F. • October 11, 2012Find the Little Library, where you can borrow a book, and bring it back... or bring a different book back!
Sam F. • January 29, 2016Top coffee. Close enough to grab free WiFi from "Melbourne Library Service"
Sylvia J. • September 1, 2014Lovely big balcony looking over the library, great deco n friendly staff. Sunday drinks deals too-$5/$7 cider/beers
Open House Melbourne • July 10, 2012You be the judge. Several courtrooms will be open, the original criminal court, and the library during during Open House 10am to 4pm - Sunday 29 July 2012 #OHM2012
Rob N. • April 22, 2022A wide variety of delicious good quality chocolates. This place is busy for good reason. Any place with a "Praline Library" is definitely worth a visit!
Stephen R. • November 2, 2016It's a fun and interesting way to learn Japanese with a library full of resources and open on Saturdays as well
Shien J. • December 27, 2010Nice place to unwind on summer days. Balcony overlooks the state library. I love their chili fries! But the tap-beer was a bit warm the last time I came here :(
