The Margaret River Community Book Club is coordinated by Rachel England-Brassy. The group meets monthly in the junior end of the library and everyone is welcome to attend.

Your local AMR Library Services and catalogue will not be affected by these outages, however some shared online services (eg Zinio) may be temporarily unavailable, and Inter-library Loans cannot be placed during the outages.

The services will be unavailable from 4pm until 6pm.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
All library patrons are required to follow our Code of Conduct, agreeing to be respectful and responsible.
We are now asking everyone to also be Cybersmart!

The Augusta and Margaret River Libraries will both be closing early due to an organisational development meeting on Friday 14th July:
We apologise for any inconvenience.
This site will continue to deliver news about library services and events, and still has handy links to our most-searched-for resources.
Now we also have an events calendar, so you can see in advance what events are coming up and plan accordingly.
We invite you to visit the site and explore the new features at your leisure.
What is YourTutor?
It’s online, one-to-one help for students in years 3-12 with homework and study questions, a free service offered by the Shire of Augusta Margaret River libraries.
Students can get help with questions in maths, writing, English, science and more, by connecting to a network of qualified subject experts on-demand, or by uploading a written file any time for feedback within 24 hours.
The YourTutor ‘online classroom’ includes a typed chat with a live tutor, an interactive whiteboard where you can draw with the tutor, and expert assistance from a real person to help you get unstuck.
When and how?
Log in here or follow the links from amrlibraries.com and log in by using your Shire library card number, for free.
Live tutors are available Sunday – Friday, 1pm – 10pm or you can upload your writing draft 24/7 any time you like, and your file will be returned to you with helpful feedback in less than 24 hours.
