Kinghorn Community Library

We're a volunteer-run library in a friendly village in Fife.

@alastair_ch @BIGPictureBooks @scottishbktrust aw shucks - an unexpected drawalong just added to the fun ;)

[Kinghorn Community Library @KinghornCommLib]

A fab event from @alastair_ch rounded off #WorldBookDay celebrations in Kinghorn - much grunting and chest pounding in the room. That's a sign of appreciation in this part of the world (also a tribute to #inchandgrub). Thanks @scottishbktrust #LiveLiterature we loved it!

@FMReadChallenge @FMRC Thank you! We had such a lot of fun!

[Kinghorn Community Library @KinghornCommLib]

Twitter isn't our busiest platform but sometimes you just gotta retweet! Thanks so much to everyone who took part in our lockdown fun, and well done to all the brilliant projects we were introduced to this morning watching the @FMRC showcase.

For the Community Reading Culture award, @KinghornCommLib have been highly commended for their brilliant work this year, bringing books to their community through their volunteer-led library. #FMRCFestival

We loved our jam-packed screen today at our MONSTER online author event with @flyingscribbler. It's all very well us talking about books in one wee village but sometimes you need the sort of boost this has given us - mood, reach, imagination - the lot, really. Thanks Justin!

We've been quiet on Twitter. But we've not been so quiet IRL. And now we have the marvellous @flyingscribbler coming to Zoom with us this Thursday - all 7-10 year olds are welcome to join in!

Some pics of our flash fiction event last week with @sarahpbroadley and the unstoppable p6's and 7's of #kinghornprimaryschool. 'I wish we could do this every week!' said one participant. Thanks so much Sarah! #creativitymatters
