Diamond Jubilee

Tuesday 6th of June is official day for celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Visit the Library to see a display of books related to the British monarchy and to join in with some jubilee craft and quiz activities.

Scotland's favourite book

A survey lists Dan Brown's novel 'The Da Vinci code' as the favourite read of Scottish adults. In second place was 'To kill a mocking bird' by Harper Lee and in third place was 'The lion, the witch and the wardrobe' by C.S. Lewis. Like many surveys this is probably not very representative of the population as a whole, given that only 1000 people were questioned.
The survey also noted that Scots read for an average of 171 minutes a day, the national average is 184 minutes. To read the article in The Scotsman click on this link.
