Library News
Get your head in the clouds! Announcing a huge boost to our e-book and e-audiobook collection…
We are pleased to announce that the Shire of Augusta Margaret River Library Service has joined the Western Australia cloudLink group – so our patrons now have access to the cloudLibrary collections of 5 member Library Services across WA.
When you next visit cloudLibrary, you’ll see a huge increase in the number of high-quality e-books and e-audiobooks available to download directly to your device.
To view the full range, open your cloudLibrary app and select Browse:
Use the Filter setting if you want to focus solely on e-audiobooks (or on e-books only) and look to the top of your screen for headings and sub-genres under Adult Fiction, Adult Non-fiction etc.

Low Impact Living Session 1 – Waste Reduction and our New Bin Service
Thursday 4th July, 6 – 7:30pm at the Margaret River Library
Have you received your new bin? Want to find out more about waste reduction and our new three bin service? We kick start this year’s Low Impact Living Program with a two-part information session hosted by Jackie Dickson – Shire of Augusta Margaret River Waste Education and Projects Officer and sustainability, waste reduction wizard Nirala Hunt. In part one of this session Jackie will talk us through how to navigate our three-bin service including what to put where and why and where our stuff goes once we pop it in the bin. In the second half of this session, Shopping for the Planet, Nirala will look at shopping choices and how we can make changes to our consumption patterns that have benefits not only for our hip pocket, but also assist us as a society to reduce the amount of waste we create. If this sounds like your cup of tea, we would love to see you there.
