National Library of Australia prepares for historic Canberra opening
Brarians at the National Library of Australia watch a 1907 dream come true as the Greek style building overlooking Lake Burley Griffin nears completion. On August 19 Prime Minister Gorton will officially open with three days of ceremonies, a dinner and concert for almost 1,000 attendees. The move, accounting for about one million books and thousands of pictures and photographs, has been smoother than expected as staff work to ready the library for public service and closer contact with readers.

The 60 year dream becomes reality with a vast 6168 by 38 foot main reading room overlooking a lake. The Canberra complex will house a training school, 400 staff, multilingual liaison officers, and extensive film and manuscript collections. The library aims to hold up to 12 million books with underground extensions and two side buildings as space grows.
