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.
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
‘This Precious Life’ by Tania Davey is a body of work which calls for a sensitivity and respect for the intricacy and wonder of nature. Her work travels into the miniature self-contained ecosystems of lichen, the tree tops, the sea bed and the forest floor. Predominantly mixed media and beautifully framed, these artworks are sure to delight viewers who enter the library during the months of December 2017 and January 2018. All works are for sale by contacting the artist directly. More information is available in The Cocoon Gallery, situated in the entrance to the Margaret River Library.
The Margaret River and Augusta libraries will both close at 12 noon on Friday 22 December 2017 and open at 10am on Tuesday 2 January 2018.
Our online resources will be available for the duration of the break – click here to explore our range of e-books, downloadable audio-books, online courses and our movie streaming service.
Remember, you can borrow up to 30 items, so be sure to stock up before the break!
