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

If you are a fan of action-thriller authors like Preston & Child, Matthew Reilly, Dan Brown or Andy McDermott, you might enjoy the books by Steve Berry.
Berry’s historical thrillers mix facts, theories, conspiracies and a lot of action.
His main character, Cotton Malone, appears in many of his novels, and as they stand alone, you can read them in any order.
Click on the image to place a hold on the item.
You can also find some of his books in Audio Format on CloudLibrary

We want to let all parents know about a system change that will affect our Junior and Young Adult members.
Effective immediately, all Junior and Young Adult membership types will now be able to use their library cards to access the internet on our public PCs. The library wifi is also freely available and not restricted by age.
If you would prefer your child to not be able to log themselves onto a PC session, please ensure you supervise them at the libraries.
We encourage all parents to have regular ‘internet safety’ talks with their children. Click here to find some helpful links to help with your chats. Then scroll down to the ‘Young People’ section:
We are so lucky – we have regular wild visitors to the organic garden at the Margaret River Library. Last week we hosted a very relaxed quenda! It wasn’t at all bothered by the presence of library staff, and even posed for this photo.
Quenda are amazing creatures. Click here to find out more about them.
This month is all about girl-power!
Settle in for some seriously entertaining movies showcasing the lives and achievements of some seriously amazing women.
Beamafilm is available free to library members – have your library card handy and click here to find out more.
In the meantime, here are a few more titles to tempt you… 🙂
