A perfectly worded thread by Douglas Stuart over the incredible decision by @CreativeScots not to fund @AyeWrite this year. Some events are too big to ignore. Like a football team, Aye Write should be first on the team sheet for Creative Scotland when applications come in.

Did you know selected Scottish public libraries throughout Scotland have Lend & Mend Hubs, providing free access to equipment to repair, reuse, & upcycle? ♻️ The project relates to Forward: Scotland's Public Library Strategy. 👉ow.ly/9w8P50QvmCB #ScottishLibraries

"My local library saved me, and I want other people to be able to have that help too". Just one of the quotes from SLIC's survey of Scottish public library services. #ScottishLibraries @scotgov @culturescotgov @COSLA

A total of 21 schools will be awarded a share of £200,000 from the School Library Improvement Fund (SLIF). The fund is managed by the Scottish Library and Information Council and funded by @ScotGovEdu ➡️ ow.ly/aoQA50Qz5wb #ScottishLibraries
With various consultations going on nationwide regarding library services in Scotland, it felt like the right time to resurrect @LibrariesFTW.
