Readings – Carlton

Readings Carlton is a Melbourne icon, and has long been a gathering point for the Australian literary scene. It began life as a tiny stand-alone shop in 1969. The growing business moved to larger premises on 338 Lygon Street in 1982, making its final move to 309 Lygon Street, where it stands today, in 1998.
