'In its 90th year the Fryer Library continues to grow as a bountiful resource. From the time of the first volumes on Australian literature collected by Dr Frederick Robinson in memory of John Denis Fryer, the Library’s development has been a labour of love. Over the years, this endeavour has been generously aided by loyal supporters, particularly the wonderful Friends of Fryer who have defended, built and promoted the collection’s value.' (Introduction, Simon Farley : Fryer Librarian)
