2026 is the National Year of Reading – #GoAllIn
For all of February, we are hosting an exhibition from the Edinburgh, Lothians and Borders Police Historical Society about Edinburgh & Leith during World War II.
To tie in with this, we have a lecture on Monday 9th February at 6:30pm delivered by Tom Wood: The Bombing of Edinburgh & Leith – 1939-1942. There is no need to book ahead and it is free to attend.
We are hosting a second lecture on 23rd February on The Memorial Roll about Edinburgh Police and the uncommemorated lives lost during World War II – more details to follow.
The author, Gerard McEwan, has generously donated a copy of this book which is part of our Local History collection. Access this collection in the library and other resources online with your library card!
Our tree is up in Corstorphine Library, and we’ve got almost as many baubles as we do Christmas books that you can borrow!
There have already been some collections made thanks to the efforts of the Corstorphine Christmas Support Project and the generosity of our community.
We are still collecting food and toiletry donations until Tuesday 9th December if you can help put some essentials and treats under the tree of someone in need.
If you are able to donate time or money instead, please check out their website below:
