We'd like to thank everyone who joined us for our recent Bollywood film screening at #CoatbridgeLib. It was a lot of fun and hope to do more in the future. So if you love Bollywood movies, watch out for future dates.

Our Japan Celebration Day at #CumbernauldLib is on Saturday 16 May with loads of fun activities to get involved in. Manga film showings, Japanese language tasters, Origami, Haiku writing and more. Bring the family along for a fun free day out.

We're loving the displays the team at #CoatbridgeLib are putting together. Some great ways to highlight books you might not pick up from our shelves. Are you a vinyl, cassette, CD or stream kind of music lover?

Our Calm Minds group at #ViewparkLib on Mondays at 2pm aims to help members feel calmer, more mindful, less anxious and help declutter their thoughts. Come spend a relaxing couple of hours in the library each week and improve your wellbeing.

Our Saturday Bookbug session on every week at 10.30am in #KilsythLib would like to welcome new parents and children to the session. Come along and enjoy songs, rhymes and stories with your little one.
