Join us to celebrate the launch of the Cassie’s Coven series of 3 novels by Helen Allan at the Margaret River Library. This is a family friendly event for the school holidays.

 Thursday, January 25th, 6 – 7:30 pm

The series is aimed at readers aged 8-11 years who enjoy magic and mystery. Each book follows the lives of four little girls from the small South West town of Witchborough as they use magic and girl power to solve environmental mysteries that have the potential to wreak havoc in their small town. In the spirit of Nancy Drew, these young girls will delight readers with their mystery solving abilities, animal familiars, their horses and their magic. Light refreshments provided along with the chance to meet the author, buy a signed copy of the books and perhaps win a lucky door prize!

RSVP by Wednesday 24 January to the library on ph: 9780 5600 or amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au

The Augusta and Margaret River Libraries will be closed for the Christmas break.

Margaret River Library

and

Augusta Library

will be closing early

at 12 noon

on Friday 8 December

for Shire staff development.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Please note that from 1st December 2017, all library accounts must be paid in full before patrons can access further library services.

We have moved to an updated catalogue format – Discovery – so things will look a little different next time you do a catalogue search or place a hold on an item from our New Books display.

There will be some ongoing tweaking happening over the next week or so, while we continue to improve the user experience with Discovery – and we are currently reviewing and updating all of our guidelines relating to catalogue use.

We appreciate you patience while we make this transition.

Please visit the catalogue and explore the new format. We think our patrons will be especially pleased with the visibility of the log-in button, and the need for fewer clicks to place a Hold.

Don’t forget, you are always welcome to ask our friendly staff if you need some assistance to get started.
