@scribblersfest have sent out thousands of feather-shaped bookmarks to be hidden in 159 libraries across Western Australia (including ours), and it’s up to you to hunt them out. There’s topaz, silver, golden and white feathers to seek out among the shelves in the children’s and young adult sections of our shelves, and each can win you an exciting prize.

The Golden Feather Hunt is on until the 27 October, the day before the Scribblers Family Festival. Come down and start reading (and hunting)!

Visit scribblersfestival.com.au for more information. Don’t forget to share your feathered finds on social media and tag @scribblersfest and #goldenfeatherhunt to go into a draw to win a spot prize too.
