Shire of Mundaring Library Service

To Dwell in Unity

by Dr Chris Bell

Author Talk

Boya Community Centre, Monday 24 July, 10.30am-11.45am

What is now the Shire of Mundaring began as the Greenmount Roads Board in 1903 housed in what is now the Mt Helena Veterinary Clinic. The year 2021 marked 150 years of local government in WA, from the earliest days of the gold rush, through two world wars, the Great Depression, and forwards to present day. To Dwell in Unity by Dr Chris Berry commemorates the 150th anniversary of local government in WA. Dr Berry will draw on a rich history of characters and events across these 150 years, including some of the Shire of Mundaring’s unique stories along the way. Hear the personal stories of some of the characters, who for better or worse, have been part of the remarkable story of local government and Western Australian history. Bookings essential at https://240723b.eventbrite.com.au.

Library Home Services

Did you know our libraries offer a free home delivery service to library members living in the Shire of Mundaring who are unable to visit the libraries due to mobility or illness?

The service can be provided on a temporary or permanent basis. You may be recuperating from an operation or illness for a short time, or you may have long-term mobility and other reasons which mean the service is required on a permanent basis. Once you are signed up for the service, volunteers and staff will select items based on your interests and deliver them to your door.

If you would like to know more, or would like help with applying for the service, please call the libraries on 9290 6780 (Mundaring) or 9290 6755 (Boya). You can also contact us by email at mills@mundaring. wa.gov.au (Mundaring) or gills@ mundaring.wa.gov.au (Boya).
