Have a lovely summer holiday everyone! Goodbye and good luck to all our Primary 7s who we know will continue to shine at the Academy. Looking forward to seeing everyone in August. Stay safe.

Every child in West Lothian can be a West Lothian library member and that is exactly what the libraries endeavour to do – engage with and register as many children as possible.  If your child is not already a library member and you are interested in their child becoming a library member then they can simply complete the online application here: http://bit.ly/Join-WL-libraries. After completion you will be sent the child’s membership information and will have access to our digital resources and all of our libraries when we reopen.

During the lockdown they have significantly increased the collection of children’s e-Books and e-Audio books.  These can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/WLlibebooksChildren

They also have also purchased e-Books and e-audio books which allow multiple downloads, so there are no waiting lists for these.  The latest addition is Flying Fergus, The Great Cycle Challenge by Sir Chris Hoy and this can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/FlyingFergusTgcc

The e-audio books are particularly good for younger children providing them with their own personal story times, often with famous actors or even the authors themselves narrating.

If you require any assistance on the use of these resources or library membership applications please do not hesitate to contact the libraries at this email – library.info@westlothian.gov.uk

Good afternoon all.
