"The old Police barracks are located right behind the South Australian Museum and library. It’s a beautiful old building which is very much hidden from view and you’d be forgiven for not knowing it was there unless you had specially sought it out.

As it is the largest public research library in the whole of South Australia, it hosts a massive collection of books, photographs, sound and video recordings on every topic imaginable. While the French Renaissance style Mortlock Wing of the library looks gorgeous from the outside, its interior is the real show stopper; wrought-iron balconies lie before rows upon rows of softly illuminated books."

"Located right next to the South Australian Museum, the State Library of South Australia impresses visitors with its mixed ancient and contemporary architecture. The Spence Wing, with its clean lines and glass entrance, offers modern facilities and a contemporary decor. Mortlock Wing, the original library is in a French Renaissance style and dates back 1884."
