Here are just some of our events during October.  Check with your local library to find out what’s happening in your area.

We’re holding an open day at South Queensferry Library on Tuesday 7th August. Here’s the lowdown:

Author, actor, storyteller and stand-up comedian Harry Morris brings his one man show to libraries throughout Edinburgh this month.

South Queensferry library is currently CLOSED due to severe weather.
As stated earlier, we should have a full update about early closures around 12.30pm.

From next week we will be carrying out some work to improve the performance of the libraries’ Peoples’ Network computers. This means there may be no internet access in some libraries for up to two weeks.
There will be no internet access in any location from 14th – 16th  November. Internet access will be restored to libraries on a rolling basis thereafter. Wifi will also be affected.
We need to carry out this work in order to increase bandwidth and speed up the performance of these machines. This will improve response times for logging in and internet page loading.

October holidays? Not for us! There are lots of spooky goings-on in libraries during the break – so don’t sit about the house all week;  get out, get down to your local library and get active!
Here’s a selection of what’s going on – contact your nearest library to find out what activities and events they’ve got planned.

If you’re aged 6 – 11, come and make your own bat on 21st Oct from 2.30 – 3.30

16-20 May is Adult Learners week and my goodness we’ve  got plenty going on in libraries to mark the fact. Whether you want to find out more about local history, start a book group, improve your computer skills or trace your family tree, we’ve got something for you.

Just a quick reminder that libraries will be closed on Good Friday (22nd April) and Easter Monday (25th April).  However, during the Easter weekend, libraries will be open on Saturday 23 April and Sunday 24 April if they are usually open on a Sunday.

Due to essential maintenance, public access PCs are not currently available in our libraries. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to reassure library users that we are working to restore access as quickly as possible.

South Queensferry Library is hosting a couple of interesting local history events over the coming weeks.
