About this blog

Staff from the State Library of Western Australia (SLWA) run this blog. It's in perpetual beta - meaning we're always adapting and improving it.

Anything written here is our individual opinion rather than an official SLWA statement. We blog about news from SLWA and from WA public libraries as well as our library's focus areas of Western Australia, family history, music, indigenous affairs and children's literature

The SLWA is located in the Perth Cultural Centre on Francis St. Our phone number is (08) 9427 3111 and our website is www.slwa.wa.gov.au
