Join our E-Services Librarian, Chris Wilson, for our new podcast and have a deep dive into the secrets you might not have discovered yet with our online catalogue.

Whether it's leaving book reviews and being a mini-book blogger, or discovering some of the fantastic events we have going on in our libraries, it's all there on the online catalogue.

Hopefully this little talk-through will give you the chance to use the online catalogue more and get more from the online experience.

Everyone has that old favourite book that sticks with them for one reason or another. That's why Bea set Jennie and Pari the challenge of Old Favourites for this episode of our podcast.

Listen in to the books that they both come up with and the reason for picking them. You might just find something that you want to experience for yourself as your next read.

All the books are available from your local library either on the shelf or to reserve.

Springtime can be a very busy time in our libraries as our school break activities kick in. This year is no different and we are in the middle of Let's Go Libraries.

Join our E-Services Librarian to find out about some of the events that are coming up in the second week of the programme.

It's not all about the children though. Listen on to find out more about not one, not two, not even three, but four author events that you can be involved with. Three are in-person events at Motherwell Library with Julie Kennedy, Louise Welsh and Damian Barr. There's also a fourth forthcoming event with Kate Morton which is an online event from our eLibrary partner, BorrowBox.
