Book in while there's still spots!

From the author of Dancing with Bees comes Flowers in July, a charming and heartfelt story about opening yourself up to love.

Anna Maynard will join us to discuss her new heartfelt contemporary novel about Mary Roberts, a driven emergency doctor whose carefully planned life is upended after a shocking betrayal.

In need of a temporary escape, Mary signs up to help run a wilderness expedition medicine course. Suddenly, everything she thought she knew about herself is starting to unravel. The question is, what will the fallout be? A breakdown in her relationship with her sister? Her mother’s brittle mental health reaching the point of catastrophe? Or – most dangerous of all – could Mary Roberts finally be ready to fall in love?

Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Devonport Bookshop at the event - chat to Anna as she signs them for you.

The Living Knowledge Project: Bridging Cultures through Storytelling

Devonport Library partnered with the local Aboriginal community to present the Living Knowledge Project. The project was a year-long residency program for Tasmanian Aboriginal individuals to share personal journeys through storytelling and integrating oral traditions into libraries.

The quotes we share are from the conversations with residents sharing their personal journeys through the ancient art of yarning and storytelling.

The Living Knowledge Project invites all community members to listen, learn, and engage with the rich mosaic of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture and its people. Together, let us honour the past, celebrate the present, and forge a brighter future built on understanding and respect.

Jessie Williams, Darumbal, Palawa Man "The main focus of being on country is having fun with our family, holding space, sharing and learning together"

Monday has rolled around again...here's a new lightning review from staff to start off the week 📖

🌳We all Live Here by Jojo Moyes

It was a nice story about families trying to navigate a new normal after betrayal and separation. It sounds heavy but it really wasn’t, there was even a duelling grandpas scene which had me giggling out loud.

We had a great time at Devonport City Council's Expo of Everything for Adult Learners' Week on Saturday.
We welcomed many new library members on the day,
shared the amazing resources available in our North West Libraries, the 3D Printer enthralled many into the Devonport Library space and our Libraries Prize Wheel was so popular that we had to restock our supplies - particularly the chocolates 😀
