The East Kilbride Central Library staff walked into the elves browsing the new town centre plans this morning. Not sure how they managed to get under the glass though 👀

What's Christmas without enjoying a hot drink near a crackling fire? The elves at East Kilbride Central Library certainly agree... if you can spot them that is! 🎄☕
Picture 1 - Two elves hide inside tinsel Christmas trees sat next to the cafe at East Kilbride Central Library. In front of them is a sign that reads 'why not try a pump of gingerbread syrup in your hot drink?' next to a bottle of gingerbread syrup.  Picture 2 - One elf sits inside a cup sat next to a faux fireplace underneath the front desk at East Kilbride Central Library. On top of the desk are BorrowBox information cards and Christmas Nursery books.

Today marks 250 years of Jane Austen! Did you know all her novels published in her lifetime were done so anonymously? However, by the time Mansfield Park came out, the secret was out and her brother Henry may have been partially to blame! Austen wanted her work to be judged on merit, not gender.
Book display at East Kilbride Central Library featuring Jane Austen books in celebration of 250 years since her birth. The book shelves are covered in flowers and on the top shelf there is a picture of Jane Austen and blurb about her life.
