Please note, the Victorian Music Library is temporarily in storage.
The Victorian Music Library (VML) Committee and Volunteers would like to thank you for your continued support.
The VML is urgently looking for a space to call home. Do you know of a disused church, or converted warehouse? We are seeking your creative help and imagination!
Our wish-list is:
Approximately 400 square metres of floor space for the total collection
A location close to a shopping precinct and public transport
Kitchenette and bathroom facilities
Administration area with temperature control and space for cataloguing and processing music
Adequate amount of car parking spaces for members and volunteers
A suitable entrance for disabled, pram and trolley access
Our target area is from the Melbourne CBD in an easterly direction towards Camberwell and then down in a southerly direction towards Sandringham
Background information:
The VML is a not-for-profit independent incorporated organisation
We offer a niche market service which is different from universities
We are open to the general public

Dear Members and Friends,
It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of a dedicated Volunteer, Patricia (Pat) Vivian-Lall
Patricia was always bright, bubbly and effervescent - a very-talented and popular Soprano and Actress, working beside June Bronhill in “Nunsense”; in “Neighbours” as “Beatrice Benedict”; in “Theatre Restaurants”; with “The Victorian State Opera”; in the “Free Entertainment In The Parks (FEIP) Concerts” held at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne and amongst other things, Pat also wrote a Children’s Book: “Ozzie Pozzie’s Rhymes For Aussie Kids, for which she wrote original songs.
We extend our Deepest Sympathy to Patricia’s Family.
