Wagin Ladies Golf by Chris Barker

Last Wednesday 24th August, the ladies

played 18 holes stroke for the Spring Cup.

This is one of our main events for the year,

and we thank our Sponsors the Wagin

Jewellers & Ewen Foley. The day started

out a bit frosty, but as the afternoon

unfolded, we could feel that Spring is not

far away.

Earlier in the year we replaced our very

old and outdated Spring Cup and

mounted a new cup on the existing

wooden base, which has all the previous

winners engraved.

Our worthy winner this year for the Spring

Cup was Marilyn Brockway with a score of

97-27-70.

Runner Up was Jan Painter beating Robin

Dunham on a count back, both with 76

nett.

Jan also won both the novelties Nearest

Pin #16, and Longest Putt #6.

Congratulations to our winners.

The season is coming to a close quite

quickly. Good luck to the girls going to

Lake View & Narrogin Open Day, which is

being held on the 8th September.

Quarter Finals will be played on Wednesday 7th September

Semi Finals on Wednesday 14th September

Championship Final 36 holes and plate final 18 holes, will be on Wednesday 21st September.

Hello, Wagin book lovers!

This week, 29th August to 2nd September is National Literacy and Numeracy Week, and the Friends

of Wagin Library & Gallery have purchased the selected book ‘My Two Blankets’ by Irena Kobold

and illustrated by Freya Blackwood for the Library. As part of National Literacy and Numeracy Week,

the 2016 ‘Read for Australia Day’ is Friday, September 2nd. Come into the Library to read ‘My Two

Blankets’ during the week, or ask an older person or a library staff member to read it to you on Friday

2nd September. This beautiful book will be available to borrow after Saturday, September 3rd.

Children’s Book Review

‘My Two Blankets’ by Irena Kobold

A young girl is forced to flee her war-ravaged homeland and later arrives in Australia. Everything is

strange here - the people, the food, the weird language - even the wind is different. She feels cold,

intimidated and lonely. To cope, the girl wraps herself in a beloved blanket and takes comfort

remembering the sounds, words, and memories of her homeland. She feels like staying under this

blanket forever.

One day, while out at the park with her auntie, a girl smiles at her, then waves but walks away. She

doesn’t know what to do. A few days later, they meet again and the new girl speaks to her in words

she doesn't understand; still, she starts to feel happy inside. Over the weeks, her new friend teaches

her new words. Sometimes they laugh together - and very soon, the sounds all around her aren’t so

odd anymore. She realises she's weaving a brand new blanket – new words, sounds and memories

for her new life.

Adult Readers’ Book Reviews

‘Travelling Made Easy: A step by step guide to holidays of a lifetime’ by Tanya Hawkins

Reviewed by Rosemary Thompson

This is easy to read a book written by an enthusiastic life-long tourist and experienced travel guide.

Hawkins has a comprehensive collection of insider tips for the first time traveller or more experienced

adventurers. She covers everything from planning and saving for a holiday, to those “hope you

never need to use” pieces of advice. One example mentioned was if you found yourself in the

unfortunate event of being mugged while travelling, Hawkins suggests always carrying an old wallet

with a small amount of cash and some out of date, cancelled credit cards that you could hand

over. Certainly, there are some “golden nuggets” in this book from a Travel Industry professional.

‘Golden Lion’ by Wilbur Smith

Reviewed by Gloria Newbold

A fast-actioned novel that brings to life the sights smells and sounds of Africa. About the only

downside was that I thought the author lost interest in the ending of the story.

Happy reading!

Friends of the Wagin Library & Gallery Hope all are well, and glad Spring is here. Wow, it has been a cold Winter.

I hope many of you were able to get to buy a book or two on Saturday. We have a great book sale

on the last Saturday of each month with our wonderful helpers Simeret and Tamara.

We had our monthly get-together on Thursday at 4:30pm. It would be great if you had time to come

along and join us next time- Thursday, September 29.

Children have special days at the Library. We have a Storytime for 0-4-year-olds once a month on

the last Thursday morning 9am to 9:30am. Please come along with your little ones. A lot of work is

put in beforehand to make the time special for them.

Also, the Friends take on making up displays for special events through the year. National Literacy

and Numeracy Week will be on from August 29th to September 2nd and the Friends have

purchased the Read for Australia book 'My Two Blankets' by Irena Kobold for children to read, or be

read to during this week. We have a great colouring competition for all school-aged children based

on this book where the prize is a book of the child’s choice. Come into the library to collect the

picture and return it by September 11.

Another purchase we have made is Kelly Newton-Wordsworth’s first book “This is Your Life”. Some

of you may know her for her beautiful music, or her passion for biodynamic farming. Her book tells

of her life journey and the influences on the choices she has made along the way and is well worth

a read.

We have also sent a response to the SLWA on the impact any change to inter-library borrowing will

have on all our library users.

Finally- good news! The Shire has agreed to our request for a public access computer in the library.

The main topic at our next gathering will be- What are the main uses for this computer, and how

can we support our library staff in getting the most value from it? We’d love to see you there to get

some ideas flowing.

Did You Know?

In the Caribbean, there are oysters that can climb trees.

Human birth control pills work on gorillas.

Embryos of tiger sharks fight each other while in the mother's womb. The survivor is the one born.
