We're delighted to gift family lending collections to each primary school in Inverclyde as part of Couch to Classroom, our School Library Improvement Fund project, that aims to encourage shared reading at home and in school. Alongside 11 collections of books, each school also received display stands to promote books in their school libraries and a character soft toy to keep them company while they read. We hope all families enjoy reading together! Thank you to the Scottish Library and Infomation Council for supporting this project. #CouchToClassroom #NationalYearOfReading2026 #GoAllIn2026 #LoveLibraries #InverclydeLibraries

We’re livestreaming some author talks into the libraries from the Edinburgh International Book Festival. If you’re fed up with big tech (he says posting on X *ahem*) then why not come to Central Library on Sunday to hear Cory Doctorow discuss the topic. “Tech critic, sci-fi author, and seer of digital dystopia, Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It is a blistering take-down of formerly utopian tech companies’ constant chase for bigger profits. In this urgent discussion with Heather Parry, Doctorow sets out the case for how to cure ourselves from the lure of big tech, resist the monetisation of every aspect of our lives, demand regulation, and reclaim our privacy online.” Check our Eventbrite page below to reserve a FREE ticket. eventbrite.co.uk/e/cory-doct…
Cory Doctorow live from Edinburgh International Book festival. Sunday 16th August,3.15pm at Central Library.
