Getting into Books project

Every year our reading champions visits Barnhill, Craigiebarns, Eastern and Forthill Primary schools to champion favourite story books.

Looking for that special book?

Why not look and see what our Reading Champion is promoting in the local schools. If you would like to read any of the titles or you cannot find what you require in the library, please ask the staff. A request service is available which enables you to request items. These can be forwarded to your local library for collection. There is a minimum charge for this service. Or if you would just like to read something different why not ask one of the team to choose your books for you as part of our personal shopper service.
