Bookbug sessions will be held on a Tuesday morning from Tue 20 November 2018 in Wallyford Community Centre at a time to be confirmed.

The Homework Club is likely to happen within Wallyford Primary School and will be confirmed in due course.

Any adult who is unable to use the Mobile Library, or unable to go to another Library (Musselburgh Library is the nearest), may request to use the Home Library Service (where books are delivered to you and uplifted from you by a Library volunteer).
