The Council are no longer threatening to close our library but it still needs our support! We need to visit, use the services & show @LoveWestLothian that the library is an important part of our community.
How do you use the library?

Reading recommendations for anyone interested in understanding more about Iran & her history, culture, society as well as politics - the work of Michael Axworthy is hugely insightful & informative
📚 I love reading - it gives me a lot of joy and helps with the stresses and strains of work. I try (tho don’t always succeed) to get through a book every week or two. And at Xmas, I love sharing the novels I’ve enjoyed during the year, so I hope you’ll indulge me 😁...1/
Bibliotherapy can be traced back to Ancient Greece, where “libraries were places to seek solace and healing, and to nurture ourselves through stories.” #library

We're totally *not* envious.
Not envious.
At.
All.
Not one teensy tiny minuscule elementary particle of envy here.
No sir.

There's more in the Almondbank Centre than just the Library!

So that was Chris and her reading and schooling, two Chrisses there were that fought for her heart and tormented her. You hated the land and the coarse speak of the folk and learning was brave and fine one day; and the next you'd waken with the peewits crying across the hills..
...deep and deep, crying in the heart of you and the smell of the earth in your face, almost you'd cry for that, the beauty of it and the sweetness of the Scottish land and skies.
