Book Group Update

Private Book Groups can now arrange collection of new book group boxes by emailing aslibraries@eastlothian.gov.uk or by contacting their local open library.

Contact details and opening times for all branches can be found here. If your local library is still currently closed, collection of boxes can be arranged from the nearest open library or from Library and Museum Headquarters, Haddington.

When getting in touch please have the following information ready:

Name

Book Group name

Phone number

Borrower number

when and where you would like to make the collection of your Book Group Box.

Please allow three days before collecting your box due to Covid-19 quarantine restrictions.

Returns

You can return your Book Group Box by appointment only at any open library or at Library and Museum Headquarters, Haddington. Unfortunately due to the collections being housed in boxes, we are unable to accept them at our return bins.

If you have any enquiries regarding the Book Group Collections such as amendments to amount of copies required, titles within the Collection or any other queries please email aslibraries@eastlothian.gov.uk

Please note that library based book groups are still currently suspended until further notice.
