Remembrance Day


Remembrance Day falls on Sunday the 11th of November. The LRC has a special display to mark the occasion of World War One Poetry and History, and stories from World War One and Two. Descriptions of the event can be found with the display.

There are some wonderful stories about these events.

Try Remembrance by Theresa Breslin or Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo.

Halloween


Halloween actually falls on the last day of October , the 31st, although in Kilmarnock it is traditionally celebrated on the last Friday of October. This tradition presumably dated back to the days when people got paid on the Friday so there would be money available to pay for sweets, etc.


So, the LRC is featuring a display of frightful, scary, books. Come in and check them out.


Which is your favourite frightful book?
