The first week of the Tattie Holidays is nearly over, and we've had a brilliant time!

From coding fun and Lego building to spooky scavenger hunts, story and crafts, Bookbug sessions and story time yoga, our libraries have been full of excitement and creativity.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us so far. We can't wait to see more families next week, with even more fun still to come!

There’s no one way to read. As we celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026, we're encouraging young readers to discover that every kind of reading counts.

Not everyone wants to read a long novel, and that’s absolutely fine.
Reading can mean:
🎧 Listening to a read-along story
📖 Using an eBook
💬 Enjoying graphic novels and comics

The most important thing is finding stories that spark a love of reading.
With Libby, you can access a fantastic range of children's eBooks, audiobooks, graphic novels and eMagazines, all free with your library membership.

A few pages or a whole chapter. A comic, cookbook or crime novel. Every read counts.
