    Don't miss the quirky historic exhibits in the Curios section - and take a look through the window into the beautiful reading room while you're there.

    Refurbished and new as of September 2011, this is a great study space with free wifi. Lockers are $1 for four hours. Only downside is when it's HSC time and it's all a-chatter!
