STATE LIBRARY OF VICTORIA. GRAFFITI IN THE DOME. Prior to 1999 when the Domed Reading Room in the State Library of Victoria was closed for restoration, staff could climb the spiral stairs as an alternative to the creaky old lift to get to the five floors of book stacks. There was a small landing and a locked door, beyond which was the outside of the base of the Dome itself. Many of the staff had scratched their names and the dates on the plaster walls. Some graffiti was clearly inspired by events of the day. The Centenary Air Race from England to Melbourne was part of Melbourne's celebrations in 1934. It prompted library attendant, J. Kenny, to pen not just his name but also a tribute to the race winners, Scott and Black. John Meskill Kenny was just 17 when he was first employed at the library in 1924. His war records show that he almost enlisted in the militia in February 1939: poignantly his enlistment form had the comment 'fat man' 19 stone, not enlisted. Again in June 1940 he enlisted but was discharged six weeks later.
