Muirhouse and Granton libraries held an event with Lorna Liverpool, author of the wonderful children’s book ‘A Dance to Remember’ on Monday. The event is part of the libraries’ celebration of Black History Month which began on the 1st of October and runs until the end of the month.

Lorna demonstrated African drumming and performed stories with arts and crafts for local  primary school children – giving everyone a great opportunity to learn about the African drum’s significance in African culture, and of course to make some noise!

The children were joined by the local Living in Harmony group for Lorna’s session, making it a day to remember for all at Muirhouse Library.

Thanks to Declan McCann, team leader at Muirhouse Library, for the pictures

Community Mosaic afternoon: 9 May at Granton Library

moosaic

Jill Marple from Granton Library has asked me to pass on the attached invitation to you all – happily the library have received some funding to create a story garden with a community mosaic as part of it, and they would really like members of the community to come along and get involved with creating the mosaic – they would love it to have influences from lots of different cultures.

This will be happening on Saturday 9 May from 2pm -4pm (see poster (below)for details). 

No artistic experience is necessary – it will be very relaxed and refreshments will be provided. Please let Gill know if you (or anyone you know) would like to go along  – her contact details are on the poster.

It sounds like it will be a really fun way to create something for the whole community to enjoy!
