Australia Day 2013
Australia Day is celebrated annually on 26 January commemorating the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788 and the proclamation at that time of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia, then known as New Holland. It has been previously known as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day, and ANA Day, andis the official National Day of Australia.
Australia Day is an official public holiday in all states and territories. This year the public holiday is to be held on Monday the 28th of January. This means that the Shire of Mundaring Libraries will open as usual on Saturday the 26th of January, 9am until noon, and closed on Monday the 28th of January.
From everyone at the Greenmount and Mundaring libraries we hope to see you back safely after a wonderful Australia Day long weekend.

Are we there yet? Fun competition for under 12′s
Are We There Yet?
Is a fun competition for under 12s. It’s based on award winning author and illustrator Alison Lester’s book Are We There Yet?, which tells the story of her family’s journey around Australia in a camper van. We want kids around Australia to tell us about their home town or a special place they’ve visited in Australia. Just get them to send us a short story or a letter or a drawing of their favourite place and they could win a fabulous prize. This competition is moving around the country on a month by month basis, and won’t be in Western Australia for much longer. Check out the website for more details on the competition http://www.love2read.org.au/awty-competition.cfm and the exhibition http://www.love2read.org.au/awty-touring.cfm
