Mermaid music at Granton Library

Have you ever met a mermaid? Would you like to?

Mermaid storyteller and singer extraordinaire Siren Cuan is coming to Granton Library and she would love you to join her!

(The person behind the mermaid, Catherine Bapty, is a music and ASN teacher with over 10 years’ experience).

We can’t wait for this exciting event. Please note that this is in our usual Friday Bookbug slot but as it’s aimed largely at the same age group we hope that won’t be a problem!

We do ask you to book so we can be sure everyone has the space they need – but the event is free to attend. Places available through Eventbrite:

Granton Library Link: Can You Help?

RVS LOOKING FOR HOME LIBRARY SERVICE VOLUNTEER

We are looking for some help!

Our lovely Library Link group, which helps people with mobility difficulties to get to the library, is currently without a volunteer.

It runs on Tuesday mornings at 10am fortnightly and would require a commitment of around 3 hours.

The volunteer supports people from their front door onto the bus, during the session (tea and biscuits provided!) and then back home again.

If you think you could help, let us know at Granton library and we will put you in touch with the Royal Voluntary Service who co-ordinate this (Thanks RVS!)

Metaphrog coming to Granton Library

GRANTON Libary is excited to announce a superb author/illustrator visit coming to the Library after the holidays!

John Chalmers and Sandra Marrs, also known as Metaphrog, are award-winning graphic novelists whose work has a huge fanbase.

Are you aged 8-13 and love graphic novels, illustration and cartooning? This event is for you! They’ll share some insights about their working practice and guide you through some comic book inspiration so that you can create your own comic strips!

This will be a friendly workshop-style event in the library. Free to attend, all welcome.
