I found a wonderful group of photographs of the State Library of Victoria, Australia. It’s a beautiful building, completed around 1913, with all the elegance of the times. The large dome in the middle is 35m x 35m, which was the largest concrete dome in the world at the time it was built. If you’re a library person, you can’t help but wonder and imagine what it would be like to work in such a huge, beautiful facility! Here is one photo of the dome. Enjoy!
