Join us at Fortrose Library on Friday for a special Zine Day to celebrate Green Libraries Week!

What's a zine? We're glad you asked! Zine's are tiny books filled with whatever you like - we use recycled and recyclable materials to make ours and are growing our tiny Zine Library here at Fortrose Library. You can add to our library, or take your creations home.

Drop in any time between 10am and 4pm - all ages welcome!

Today we said a sad goodbye to Gulten, Susan and Caroline - three beloved members of our Fortrose and Cromarty libraries team. With over twenty combined years of time with us, we can’t thank them enough for the energy, joy, warmth and dedication that they brought to their roles and wanted to acknowledge this to all of you - we know you will miss them too! We wish them all the best with their new adventures.
