Stirling Libraries’ Off the Page Book Festival brought three brilliant events to St Ninians this May. First was a children’s book club session, Kiddies’ Shelf, filled with creative writing, storytelling, and crafts made from recycled materials, run in partnership with The Girlies Shelf. It was such a special afternoon. A big thank you to Toni for all your hard work.

Next came a creative writing workshop led by Write Club, the weekly writers’ group based in the library. The session explored the theme of Home. Work will be featured in an upcoming publication (more on that later).
Finally, we rounded things off with an evening with author Karen Campbell, who read from her latest book and spoke thoughtfully about her writing process. Such a treat! So nice to see so many familiar faces and new ones, creating, sharing and learning together.
