Our Adult Board Game Café at #CoatbridgeLib is back at the end of this month on Saturday 28 March, 12pm. Come along to enjoy a selection of our games and meet other games enthusiasts. A great way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon.

Please note - these sessions are fortnightly rather than weekly as originally stated. The next session is this weekend.

Our Saturday Bookbug session at #CumbernauldLib is looking for new parents and little ones to join the group. The weekly sessions are at 2.30pm for ages 0 - 5 year olds. Come along and enjoy songs, rhymes and stories with your little one.

We're back with more Bookbug Online fun this morning. Join Heather from #WishawLib for all your favourite songs and rhymes. Catch it on YouTube here: youtu.be/LLyyYO0pkFs
