Midlothian Libraries returning

Roslin Library is opening again to the public on Monday the 25th of October. Lasswade and Newbattle Libraries are open again to the public only a Saturdays for the present. All other branch libraries are already fully open to the public and are operating on their usual open hours. The hours for all branches are listed on the library directories page.

We are also starting to offer groups for children and adults at our branches again. Already up and running are our Bookbug sessions which currently still require pre-booking a space before attending. There is information about times as well as contact details for each branch on the Midlothian Bookbug webpage.
