Celebrate Libraries Week by taking part in special activities at your local library!

29th September 2022

Next week is Libraries Week and High Life Highland will be running activities at libraries in our local communities across the length and breadth of the Highlands.

Libraries Week runs from 3 to 9 October 2022 and is an annual showcase and celebration of the best that libraries have to offer. During the week, libraries will highlight the ways they support communities through a programme of special activities, this year with a particular focus on the ways they support life-long learning for all.

HLH Principal Libraries Manager Julie Corcoran said, ""We'll be running a wide range of activities across our 40 libraries on this year's theme of 'never stop learning'. Through activities such as book quizzes, special displays, dance sessions, the ever popular book clubs, scrabble and lego sessions, Bookbug and a children's treasure hunt, we'll showcase how our libraries help people fulfil their potential at every stage of life.

"We hope everyone in our communities across the Highlands will enjoy the activities during Libraries Week - and beyond - and everyone is welcome."

High Life Highland libraries are free to join, giving you access to not just physical books, magazines, newspapers and computers, but thousands of titles through its online service too.

You can find out what is going on for Libraries Week by checking with your local library or by visiting the Facebook page for your local library. High Life Highlands runs 40 libraries and eight mobile libraries. To find your nearest library or sign up, visit www.highlifehighland.com/libraries
