News and events for our library community
Please join us to celebrate the launch of the next Cocoon exhibition by Natasha Hill.
Light refreshments will be provided and an opportunity to purchase the works on display. The exhibition runs to the end of November but the launch is a good chance to meet the artist and find out first hand about her inspiration and techniques. All welcome
The West wing was built, and the Outdoor Library Garden was created. The staff area was pushed back into the old Child Health Clinic, and the Junior area expanded into the old staff rooms.
Our Sorter was installed, allowing staff the freedom to move around the library as we no longer had to manually check-in every item returned.
If you would like to take a trip down Memory Lane, click here to view some ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots, including pictures of the building process. We think you’ll be amazed at how much smaller the library used to be…!
More pictures can be seen at the display at the Margaret River Library, and as you scroll down this post.
We are giving away free cuppas to celebrate this month. Come in and check out our display for more details.
