This is your weekly reminder about our brilliant "Bring, Make & Do!" sessions, every Friday morning from 10.30 until Noon!

So, If you fancy a knit and a natter or even a bit of crafting over a coffee, bring your own projects down and craft in comfort in the library with lovely like-minded creative folk! ❤

More Clear-Out questions and we think this one will be super important to whoever has misplaced it!

It’s a little silver tin, about the size of a 10p, containing a small b&w photo of a wee lad, the words “Robert Thompson at Restalrig Rd” have been written on the back.

It seems like a very well-loved & sentimental keepsake and we’d love to be able to reunite it with its owner.

Please also share, both online and with elderly friends and family in the hope that it finds its way back home! ❤️

The Great Clear-Out Continues!

This time we're on the lookout for the owners of these 2 vintage vinyls which were found in a Marie Curie bag in the library.

Are you missing some ragtime in your life? Have your polka dreams been foiled even before the needle's had a chance to drop? "Weird Al" Yankovic, was this you?!

Come along before Saturday 5th September and claim these not so compact discs before we donate them back to Marie Curie for another discerning collector to collect!
