Edinburgh Events for National Libraries Day 2016
Edinburgh’s libraries are getting ready for National Libraries Day this weekend.
One of the events taking place this Saturday is a visit by singer and TV presenter Michelle McManus to Wester Hailes Library where she will read from The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.
In addition Central Library are staging music and spoken word from #artcore. There is also a chance to see some selected items of Japanese art from the Henry Dyer collection.
Culture and Sport Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, Councillor Richard Lewis, said: “National Libraries Day gives everyone the opportunity to show how much they love using these vital public services, and it helps to highlights their importance.
“The young people who are involved in #artcore have devised the programme themselves using the library’s collections as inspiration. They have worked really hard, so please go along on Saturday afternoon and support their creativity. If you’re not a library member, why not take a moment to join on the day? It’s free and easy.”
