Ferrybank Library celebrates its 10th Anniversary

24/11/22 16:26

On December 4th 2012 Ferrybank Library opened its doors to the local community, and over the last 10 years has provided a central focus for community and cultural activities. The library has over 23,000 items, including adult fiction and factual books, a teenage collection, children’s stock, reference materials, music CDs, DVDs and box sets.  The library also has wifi access, along with 8 computers for internet access and printing services.

Local community groups, schools, childcare facilities, families and new residents have found a place in their local library to learn, work, play and share. To maintain those community links,  the library provided a book delivery service for older people cocooning at home during Covid 19 closures.

Since the library has fully reopened, in person activities and groups are back; with regular craft groups and an Irish circle, as well as bookclubs for children and adults. Ferrybank library also hosts short courses and one-off workshops. Upcoming activities include board game evenings on Wednesday’s in December (5pm to 6.30pm) and a creative writing course and beginners sewing machine course starting in early January 2023.
