Come along for our craft sessions this weekend!

It's Wee Read day today which means that people all over Scotland are pledging their support for reading and libraries. What's not to like? If you want to show your support in person we are flagging up a reading hour between 5.30-6.30 when we'll offer not only our usual warm welcome but also Tea and Ingrid's home made apple cake!! We also have scratchcards if you want a totally random reading suggestion. Surely that's worth a pledge or two? - Rush to the library!

A reminder that we have a Social Story guide to Granton Library for anyone who might find it helpful to know what to expect from a space before visiting!

We also have a physical copy that you can borrow while you are in the library, just ask a staff member for it when you arrive.
In addition to the Social Story, we also have a visual timetable you can use for your visit.

This is a new and updated version, we are very grateful for the feedback and suggestions we got last time we posted this.
