Sharron shares personal stories of those who served in front line action and during humanitarian missions. Sharron is passionate about collecting and sharing the oral histories of naval and aviation armed forces which formed the basis of her PhD dissertation as well as her book.

Once again, we are partnering with Margaret River Senior High School to deliver the Young Mentors Program during May 2025.
The program supports older Australians to improve their digital skills by bringing them together with young people in a mentoring capacity, to share digital skills and knowledge.
The one-to-one sessions are fun, informal and tailored to cover topics older people would like to learn. Participants can use their own devices, so the new skills they learn can be put into practice straight away. Some tablets are available if learners want to have a go, but do not have a device.
The Young Mentors program offers a wealth of benefits to all participants. Older people can improve digital literacy, learn essential life skills and develop a deeper sense of community while the young mentors can develop leadership, communication, problem-solving skills… and much more.
The one-on-one sessions will run on Thursdays, May 15, 22, 29 and June 5, 12pm to 1:30pm.
Register your interest by email to Ana: abrawls@amrshire.wa.gov.au or contact the library Ph:08 9780 5600.
The library is an easily accessible venue with space available for carers if necessary.
Join these free Be Connected Online Presentations to develop your digital skills and keep safer online.
