Popularity among borrowers has spiked due to the interest generated by her tour of the central west.

We are lucky enough that she is visiting both Dubbo and Wellington, so make sure you come along.

At 12pm Margareta Osborn will be at Wellington library introducing her newest book Rose River.

This free event includes light refreshments, tea and coffee so is a wonderful opportunity to come by yourself or with a friend and listen to this talented farmer/writer.

There will be colouring sheets available for young ones in the children's area so this is also a mum-friendly event if you would like to get out of the house and meet a successful author in person.

Bolinda e-Audio: product testimonial

I have struggled recently with how to amuse myself on long drives when my car's CD player was broken and was amazed at how easily e-Audio downloaded through the library turned that around! It was so easy to open the app on my iPhone and suddenly I had a lengthy chapter book ready to listen to and keep me awake on the highway. Searching for Schindler by Tom Keneally reminded me of why I love well-written information books.

I was impressed by how exciting e-Audio could be and can now recommend it thoroughly to anyone else who needs hands-free entertainment.

Macquarie Regional Library, Wellington Branch, is located on the corner of Maughan and Percy Streets, Wellington.
