We think our libraries do a wonderful job, but don’t take our word for it ๐Ÿ™‚ We want your personal stories to share with other public libraries.

As part of the Public Library Strategy, Public Libraries WA is developing an annual publication to showcase the achievements of public libraries across WA.

Public libraries, every day, deliver activities, events, programs and services for countless people, whose heart-warming stories showcase the positive influence the library has on their lives.

The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists Welcomes Victoria Robertson

Posted on

Mixed Media

Mixed Media is the first solo exhibition by emerging artist Victoria Robertson.

Originally from Amsterdam, Robertson’s work is inspired by the pristine West Australian coastline. Victoria creates miniature shadow box settings, and she uses textile technics to create embroidered spheres and tapestry.

“Ever since I was very young, I have been fascinated with miniature things such as doll houses and shadow boxes,” she says.

A teacher for the past 32 years, Robertson’s new exhibition brings a small selection of what she makes.

‘Withing some of the shadow boxes are some mini embroidered balls – see if you can find them all!” she teases.

Exhibition continues until the end of April.

The Margaret River Library is an accessible venue.

 

Author Talk by Adventurer, Rob Turner

Posted on

Thursday 22nd February, 6 – 7pm followed by light refreshments

Rob Turner has lived (and survived) an adventurous life which culminated in self publishing Home the Hard Way. It is the story of his attempted world circumnavigation (1992/95) starting from Sydney, and thwarted in Saudi Arabiaย  and the enforced return to Perth against the prevailing winds and currents in his 7.1 metreย  yacht. De-masting, skipper overboard, pirates, strandings and near misses with massive ships are just some of the adventures which make this a fascinating talk.

Please RSVP to reserve your seat. Email: amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au or Ph: 9780 5600

Born in, and spending his early youth in northern Tasmania, Rob Turner has always loved adventure, tackling and surviving much more than most. Scuba diver, shipwreck finder, charter pilot and chief flying instructor, former world aerobatic spin record holder and international solo sailor are just some of his experiences in a long and exciting life. Now retired and โ€˜slowing downโ€™ a little, Rob lives in the small seaside town of Dunsborough, near his family. When not indulging in, amongst other things, his love of writing books or poetry, he especially delights in teaching his two youngest grandchildren the joys of snorkelling and exploring with them in the wonders of the underwater world.
