The State Library of Victoria is committed to making its collections, services and events available to all members of the Victorian community.

Our website has information for people with a disability who wish to visit the Library or use our information and services online.

In the Visiting the Library section you will find information about disabled access to the Library building and the availability of disabled parking.

In the Services section, there is information about the range of assistive & adaptive technologies as well as advice on how to obtain assistance using the Library and accessing the collection.

All staff at the Library can assist you with using the equipment or answering your questions about the services that are available for people with a disability. The Library also employs a specialist staff member who can provide you with more detailed information about the disability services on offer - contact the Disability Services Librarian on 03 8664 7005.

Under the Using the Library section you will find a guide to disability information resources available in the Library collection.

If you wish to attend an event at the Library, please note that all venues are accessible via wheelchair. When booking for events, it is a good idea to let the Library know as early as possible if sign, oral or loop is required. Lecture material can be provided in Braille, large print and cassette if requested well in advance.

To keep up with what's happening at the Library, an audio version of our publication State Library of Victoria News is available for people with print disabilities from National Information and Library Services on 03 9521 3400 or 1800 335588 (for country callers).
