Let's Read early literacy campaign

The 2013 Let's Read early literacy campaign, with $1million funding from the federal government, will raise awareness of the importance of reading with children and support the work of reading professionals. The campaign was initiated during the National Year of Reading and leveraged off the success of the year.

Writers in the Library - Stephanie Roberts

Stephanie Roberts

"On the Wings of Autumn"

Thursday 15th November at 2pm

Mandurah Library

331 Pinjarra Road

Unconditional love of a dog can teach humans the lessons of life.

"On the Wings of Autumn" is an unusual journey into relationships both human and animal, with Stephanie learning how those tie together.  It is sometimes fun, sometimes thoughtful and sometimes sad ... a look back at a full life, packed with all those emotions and more.

A must-read for anyone convinced their pets read their mind, offer comfort during trying times and would gladly give up their lives to save ours.
