Margaret River Library is very excited to announce a visit by this well known award winning author. With thanks to WritingWA, Margaret River is Juliet’s first stop in a tour of libraries including Pemberton and Bridgetown.
Juliet was born in Dunedin, New Zealand – the most Scottish city outside Scotland itself – but now lives in Western Australia. Juliet’s novels combine historical fiction, folkloric fantasy, romance and family drama. The strong elements of history and folklore in her work reflect her lifelong interest in both fields. However, her stories focus above all on human relationships and the personal journeys of the characters.
Juliet is currently promoting the third title in the ‘Blackthorn & Grim’ series of historical fantasy/mysteries for adult readers.
As usual, light refreshments will be provided after the talk with a chance to have your book signed by the author. Margaret River Bookshop will be on hand with books for sale.
Please RSVP by 18th October. Email: amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au Phone: 9780 5600

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.
Margaret River Community Book Club meets at the library for an informal chat about the book ‘The underground railroad’ by Colson Whitehead.
Thursday 28th September at 12:30 for a 1pm start. All welcome
