Here's an email & PDF with further information about the State Library as a venue. The email was in reply to Jason regarding the 2010 event, but most of the information is still applicable.
The link provided to funciton kits is dead, as are many links on the SLV site, but here are few that are alive with some info:

Dear Jason,
Thank you for your enquiry into our venues at the State Library of Victoria. You can find our function kits at http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/services/business/venue_hire/guides/
Please follow the link to the Conference Centre Kit.
Included in the kit is menus from our caterers, Mr Tulk and food&desire, as well as our terms and conditions.
We currently have another client with a tentative hold on 27 November, the only Saturday we have available is 4 December. Let me know if that date would suit you and I can place a tentative hold on it for you.
The Village Roadshow Theatrette (VRT), can accommodate up to 210 pax.
The VRT is hired at $220.00 per hour with a 2 hour minimum including...
- Basic audio visual package (lectern, data projector, screen, microphones, CD/DVD player, laptop, remote mouse)
- Furniture (registration table, panel table OR lounge chairs on stage)
- Venue staff for event set up, supervision and pack down
- A half hour bump in/out allowance either side of the booking
- Use of the adjoining foyer which can accommodate up to 100 pax for catering purposes
Should you require catering space for more than 100 pax we require you to book seminar room one as a catering overflow area, at a rate of $87.50 per half hour.
Audio Visual/Digital Media
Our venue staff (inclusive in the venue hire rate) are capable of
running
simple AV shows, for example one form of digital media and microphones.
Should your AV requirements be more complex, such as multiple forms
of digital media or a large range of microphones/panel speakers, we
highly
recommend you engage our senior digital media technician, at a rate of
$220.00 for two hours and $66.00 for each additional.
We require all digital media materials one week in advance in order to
test, where possible.
In regards to internet access, please note we cannot guarantee wifi access to all of your delegates and event. Our Conference Centre is not included in the wifi area, although past events have been able to pick up the wireless from the main public source. By relying on such a source that is used constantly by the public, the internet may be slow and their may be connecting issues.
Please don't hesitate to contact me
with
any questions, or if you would like to make an appointment to inspect
the
venues.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Kind Regards,
Amanda
