It's official. The Russell Street entrance of the @Library_Vic is open once again. A fair bit has changed since it was last open – but with all our restoration work, the grandeur of this building can live on forever.

Scents we need to bottle:
. the first 30 seconds when you walk into a bookshop or library
.baby hair
.the scent of the first page as you open a new book
.the scent of the centre page in an old book
. dog love without the dog food breath. Ditto cat.
