Falkirk Libraries

Do you know an S1 or S2 pupil who fits the bill?

Primary age children pose with books in front of library shelves. Children crouching at the front are dressed in a red and green hats as Mairo and Luigi from Mario Kart.

World Book Day is underway! Maddiston Primary P7 are in the building and we're looking forward to a whole day of fun in libraries.

Happy World Book Day!

Today is all about inspiring children and young people to see reading differently, because reading for fun seriously improves lives.
