SUMMARY:Rare Book Week: Noted Donations to the Melbourne Public Library
DESCRIPTION:From its beginning the Melbourne Public Library supplemented its book stock with donations. In 1873\, the library published a catalogue of these gifts\, listing an array of donors from emperors and kings to more humble colonists.

Historian Shane Carmody will discuss book culture in the early years of the Colony of Victoria\, featuring eminent donors and their fascinating donations to the Melbourne Public Library collection. \nSpeaker: Shane Carmody \nThursday 18th July\, 6-8pm\nPresented by The C J LaTrobe Society at Tonic House\n386 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne \nInformation: dmreilly@optusnet.com.au \nClick here to register  \n  \nThis event is part of Rare Book Week.\nYou can access the full program here.
