Are you ready to celebrate the joy of reading? 📚

On Wednesday 7 October, we're inviting everyone to make time for a Wee Read – whatever, wherever and however you enjoy it.

Lose yourself in a story. Learn something new. Have a laugh. Escape for a while. Read what brings you joy.

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

📣 Make your Wee Read pledge today: www.WeeRead.scot

📚 Finished your book? We’ve got you covered! 📚
We’re closed? No problem! 😊 You can still return your library books using our out-of-hours book return.
Drop them off whenever it suits you — because books don’t need a bedtime! 😉📖

Thanks for coming along to Fraserburgh Library last week for one of these informative drop in sessions.
🌱 Seeds for Autumn planting! 🌱
Greener Huntly have left us a small selection of vegetable seeds that can be planted this autumn. 🥕🌿
Pop into Fraserburgh Library and pick some up before they’re gone! 🌱📚

That’s our summer drop-in sessions done and we rounded things off with a visit to Fraserburgh Library.

It was great to see everyone again and hear how your veg patches are coming along. Such a pleasure to see Sarah and Anthony again too. You guys are so inspiring and it really makes all our work on this project worthwhile hearing the positive difference these free seeds are making. We absolutely loved seeing all the photos and chatting about recipes and your long term plans for your amazing new veg space! You’ve done so much work and those carrots put our own to shame!

We’ll be back again at the library drop-ins in the autumn with free onion sets so watch our socials for dates and details. In the meantime we’ve left some seeds behind to get in the ground before the winter.
Thanks again to everyone who has come along to the spring and summer drop-ins. It’s been wonderful meeting you all.
See you again soon!
Dawn and Alice

Thanks as always to our funders Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action and One Seed Forward

💗 Remembering Dolly Parton 💗
We were truly saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton, whose legacy goes far beyond her music. 🎶
Dolly was a true champion of books and reading. Through her Imagination Library, she helped put hundreds of millions of books into the hands of children around the world, inspiring a lifelong love of reading. 📚✨
From Fraserburgh & Cairnbulg Libraries, we say thank you, Dolly, for helping children discover the magic of books.❤️
“We will always love you.” 🌟
