Bags and lockers
Security showing the bag templateYou can bring a small bag into the State Reference Library (SRL) and Mitchell Library Reading Rooms.
Bags cannot be taken into the Special Collections area of the Mitchell Library Reading Room.
All bags will be checked by Security as you enter and leave the reading rooms. You can bring your own books and magazines into the reading rooms by filling out a form at the reading room entrance.
If your bag is larger than 25 x 35 x 10 cm, you will need to hire one of the lockers. Bags include handbags, laptop bags, briefcases, suitcases, backpacks and shopping bags. The locker rental stations only accept cash and will give change if you don't have the exact money.
