Disability Friendly Spotlight: State Library of Victoria
If you’re looking for a calm, welcoming and accessible space right in the heart of Melbourne, the State Library of Victoria is a wonderful option.
Here’s why we think it’s a great pick for people with disabilities:
📚 Step free access throughout the building, with lifts to all public levels
📚 Wide, open spaces that are easy to navigate with wheelchairs, prams or mobility aids
📚 Quiet zones and reading rooms for those who benefit from low sensory environments
📚 Accessible bathrooms located across the library
📚 Assistive technology including screen readers, magnification tools and adjustable desks
Whether you’re visiting to read, study, attend a program or simply enjoy a peaceful space, the library offers flexibility, comfort and choice for every visitor.
Accessibility isn’t just about getting through the doors, it’s about feeling comfortable enough to stay and enjoy the experience at your own pace.
