Children's Literature Champions 

The City of South Perth’s Children’s Literature Champion Program has been running since 2020 as a means to connect local authors with library programs and encourage a love of reading and literacy development in young people.

Throughout the year, our Champions will run workshops and host events, integrating learning and quality literature into the library calendar.

You'll be able to meet our Champions at various events - the South Perth Young Writers Award (SPYWA), during book week, school holiday workshops, and at other important events throughout the year.

To find out what's happening at your local library, see our upcoming library events.

Join us for a hands-on weaving workshop led by Perth-based artist Sharyn Egan, for NAIDOC Week 2026.

In this session, participants will learn basic weaving techniques using natural fibres in a relaxed and supportive environment. Sharyn will guide you through simple methods to create your own woven piece while sharing knowledge of weaving as an important cultural practice.

What to expect:

  • Create your own small woven piece to take home

  • Learn basic weaving techniques using natural fibres

  • Gain insight into weaving as an important Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people cultural practice

  • Enjoy an interactive and hands-on cultural experience.

Presented by Sharyn Egan, a respected Noongar artist based in Western Australia. Sharyn is known for her work across weaving, painting and sculpture, using natural and contemporary fibres to create both traditional and modern forms.
