THE Perth city library and local history centre at 140 William Street closed its doors for the last time Saturday January 9, with the new seven-level library at 573 Hay Street set to open in March. Anyone with outstanding books can keep them till the new library opens, so you still have time to finish off the final 800 pages of Twilight (but you really don’t have to). The new library is the first major civic building to be constructed since the Perth concert hall about 40 years ago.

Tickets are on the band’s Facebook page or on the door from 8.30pm on Friday January 15. Ashes to ashes, funk to funky…
