Today libraries across the UK are taking part in a relay shining a light on the books that have been banned, challenged or removed from shelves around the world. Our public and school library staff have taken some of these books on a #BannedBooksRelay2026 around Inverclyde Libraries - why not visit your local branch and borrow a banned book today? #BannedBooksWeek2026

Gather round the Comet replica and Get taken on a journey down the river Clyde with storyteller Betty Skelton. Join us at 2.00pm on Saturday 17th October to hear tales of the high seas and the wonderous creatures who call the water their home. Experienced and engaging storyteller, Betty Skelton will spend an hour transporting you from the bottom of the seabed to the top of the crow’s nest. All you need to do is pull up a seat and listen in to find out what’s lurking in the water. The PS Comet was built in Port Glasgow in 1812, it was Europe’s first commercially successful paddle steamer. The new replica celebrates the revolutionary vessel and Port Glasgow’s relationship to shipbuilding and the Clyde. This event is outside, hot drinks and blankets will be provided.

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…
