Get ready to dress up and have some fun!

The Margaret River Library is celebrating 80 years of Children’s Book Week with a colourful Costume Parade and families are invited to join the adventure.

The 2025 theme, “Book an Adventure!”, encourages children to dive into the worlds of their favourite stories and characters. Whether it’s a brave explorer, a mischievous creature or a magical hero, we want to see them brought to life at the library.

Event details:

Date: Wednesday 20 August
Time: 3.30pm – 4.30pm (Parade begins at 4pm)
Location: Margaret River Library

Children are invited to dress up as their favourite book character and join the parade. There will be prizes for best dressed in age categories, generously sponsored by the Margaret River Bookshop.

In addition to the parade, the library will host a range of Book Week-themed craft activities, including colouring in, badge making and a story hunt.

A special guest will help choose the winning costumes.

Families are encouraged to keep it simple and fun. Reinvent an old Book Week costume, borrow one from a friend or get creative with what you have at home. It’s a great opportunity to share the Book Week spirit and enjoy a community celebration of reading.
