Eccentric dresser, British poet Edith Sitwell in sunnies and snood, and actress Marlyn Monroe in a demure black suit, sitting at either ends of a couch, genuinely delighting in each other's company.

Calling all Melbourne & Victoria #bookgroups & #readinggroups! Rally together this Saturday to help save the State #Library of Victoria, on its steps, at 12.30. (Here's a pic of the poet Edith Sitwell & big reader Marilyn Monroe: reading makes friends.) #StateLibraryofVictoria #ReadingMakesFriends

Please join us at the rally to save the #StateLibraryofVictoria from mismanagement & insane staff cuts. Library steps, Saturday 13 December at 12.30. Every citizen of this city owns this place & now we have to defend it. I'm sorry we're all so busy & distracted by bad things: but this we can do.

I have a lifelong connection to Victoria’s state library – which is why I am aghast at its crude self-lobotomy | Gideon Haigh If the ‘suits’ can come for the State Library of Victoria, they can come for anyone, and no public institution is safe

The #StateLibraryOfVictoria captured in sun immediately after rain. The #sparkle was intense.

Partying like it’s 1979 at the #StateLibraryofVictoria’s ‘Library Up Late’ #Midsumma event.

#StateLibraryOfVictoria Forecourt #PHOTO2024 display: apparently images of protest and diversity, but I can’t credit them as the organisation has stupidly removed them from the website, the idiots.
