Our wonderful Joanne shares her love of reading and how she Goes All In for books and reading in all it's many forms!
📚📚📚
We're missing visits from Ferry folk while we're closed, but I hope we're all still reading where we can.
Don't forget to visit our friends at Kirkliston Library if you can for a wee visit and to get your bookish fix!

For the latest article in our series, Joanne, one of the wonderful readers at South Queensferry Library has kindly taken time to tell us how she Goes All In for reading!

"I read every day. I read the news and magazines. I love the feel of a book and I especially love audio books as I can work or sew while listening. I have Libby in my pocket and I access a book anytime.
I’m quite an eclectic reader and joining the book club and audio book club at my local library in South Queensferry has helped me develop and expand the scope of my interests. I love dystopian, young adult, historical and gothic books but I love a good Scottish murder. "
