News and events for our library community
We have a special visitor who’s been at the library since last week… He’s enjoyed catching up on his reading, but we think he’s missing his family and would like to go home soon.
Let us know if he’s yours! We’re sure he is very dear to someone 🙂
We’re inviting all our community members to help test out a draft structure for the Shire’s new website. Participants will go in the draw to win one of four $100 gift vouchers to spend at a local business of their choice.
These activities form part of a larger project to rebuild the Shire’s website in a way that better serves community needs.
Double your chances of winning by doing both activities!
Activity AÂ – Website home page testing (5-7 mins)
Activity BÂ – Website sitemap testing (6 mins)
Start the test activities now
Closes Thursday 5 August 2021. For more information about this project visit https://yoursay.amrshire.wa.gov.au/shire-website

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution by setting the challenge to refuse single use plastics for one month.
The Shire of Augusta Margaret River invites the community to take part in a number of free workshops to learn tips and tricks to reduce waste, as part of Plastic Free July.
To help raise awareness the Margaret River Library is showcasing a range of the products created with recycled plastic lids from Precious Plastic Margaret River.
Come to the library and learn how lids turn into bowls, planters and surfboard fins, and get information on where you can take your lids for recycling.
If you are interested in contributing by volunteering your time please contact Precious Plastic Margaret River on 0422 973 390 for more information.
Margaret River Library will be closed all day on Friday 25th June for electrical works. Open again on Saturday 26th June, 10am – 3pm

From May 4th to June 30th the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists will display works by Jara Gillick-Lewis, in her exhibition Rabbit in the Moon.
Jara is a local visual artist working with a diverse range of mediums including illustration, ink, water colour and spray paint. Her illustrations of the natural world celebrate the inextricable complexity and simplicity inherent in nature. The splashes of colour and stains throughout her work represent the fluidity of nature itself and our perceptions. She has facilitated many large-scale street art projects with disengaged youth as part of various community-based initiatives over the last ten years. With a deep respect for art and its power to transform others she is always using it as a catalyst for positive change.
For sales and enquiries or to RSVP please contact the artist: jj.chicksworldtv@gmail.com or on Instagram Jarandfrankiemr
