The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists Welcomes Baby D

Posted on 9 November 2026

Art Time with Baby D

An exhibition in The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists until 3pm, Friday December 18.

Baby D is a local performance artist. He dabbles in several mediums such as music, video, comedy, animation, painting and drawing.

His goal is to lose himself in the process of whatever he is creating and to be free of thought. This is when he creates his best work. The acrylic paintings he presents in this exhibition pulse with energy in their pattern and choice of colour combinations. The occasional tortoise pops into the mix creating a sense of playful quirkiness.

Launch Event

The launch to this event incorporates music and performance with the chance to chat to the artist and view his works. Please RSVP to catch the performance in the children’s end of the library.

This is an alcohol free event and children are welcome.

Date: Thursday 3^rd December, 6pm – 7pm

Please RSVP to Ben. Mobile: 0414 455 581

Which eReader works with your library eResources?

Posted on 4 November 2026

Have you ever wondered whether your eReader works with our library’s digital collection? Here’s a quick guide to help you get started.

Amazon Fire Tablets

You can enjoy library eBooks, audiobooks and magazines on your Amazon Fire tablet by downloading the relevant library apps from the Amazon Appstore and signing in with your library card.

Kobo eReaders
Many newer Kobo eReaders support Libby directly on the device, allowing you to browse, borrow and read library eBooks without using a computer. Supported models include many recent Kobo Clara, Libra, Sage and Elipsa devices.

Older Kobo devices may require Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) on a Windows or Mac computer to transfer library books to the eReader.

Important: Adobe Digital Editions users may be asked to create a ByteBooks ID when setting up or reauthorising their account.

Need Help? For step-by-step video tutorials, visit the Augusta Margaret River Libraries Academy.

Using Library Computers

Adobe Digital Editions is available on public library computers. If you need to use ADE, you’ll still need to create and sign in to your own Adobe/ByteBooks account.

Need Assistance? Contact Ana, eServices Librarian, at abrawls@amrshire.wa.gov.au or call 08 9780 5600 to arrange a one-on-one tutorial.

The Library needs your voice.
