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
