There's still time to enjoy this year's SALA Festival with exhibitions all around the city, like Born to Be Wild by Neva Jones showing at Hutt Street 😍

The exhibition is a vivid celebration of Australia’s unique wildlife created by Neva Jones using textiles - fabric and thread - not paint. These intricate wildlife portraits are created through bold fabric appliqué and intricate machine free-motion embroidery, with a background of painted canvas. Each piece blends colour, texture, and movement to capture the spirit of native wildlife.

Neva’s work is a tribute to our iconic Australian fauna and sea life with a strong focus on creating declared endangered or fragile species to bring awareness to their plight.

There's plenty more information available on the event description via the link in bio, with the exhibition available to view during library opening hours 🪡✨

📸 Neva Jones, 2026, "Leafy Sea Dragon" - Textile thread painting by machine on fabric and painted canvas.

Bookweek 2026’s theme is Symphony of Stories, so we thought what better time to give you an update on our UNESCO City of Music Toy Collection!?

A lot has changed since our opening at Hutt Street nearly 5 years ago (pictured above), with our toys now available to borrow at Tynte Street, Hutt Street, and Little Library! A special membership is no longer required, so the incredible value of music can be celebrated on any membership, encouraging your little ones to create, learn, and develop through almost 200 musical toys to choose from. So, head on into any of our libraries and start making music today, whether it’s drums, guitar, shakers, clackers, or xylophones, we have you covered!
