🌱 Some staff were on location this morning- getting in touch with our horticultural side!

🎈Happy 25th birthday to our favourite- The Gruffalo!
🎈On Sat 23 March 2019, we had a HUGE party for his 20th birthday! This year we’re being more low-key (old age!). We’d love for you to come to the Library & make him a birthday card, colour a picture & read his story! 📖

Thanks to Ann Marie for tonight’s needle-felting workshop. The first of our events highlighting our Shetland book collection. The pieces made tonight were inspired by #Shetland dialect poetry and our beautiful wildlife & surroundings. 😍
