Did you know?
Thanks to some Scottish Government funding we are currently working with the Scottish Book Trust on a Digital Storytelling project. Our project is one of 5 across Scotland and is called The Peoples Story Project.
We have our very own Digital storyteller Sabine working with us and with groups and organisations across the district until June 2019.
What is Digital Storytelling, well in a nutshell a digital story is just a short story (usually spoken by the author) which also includes images, film footage or animation.
We’ve asked Sabine to write us a blog all about the project which will be posted soon.
However in the meantime if you are in a group that might be interested in taking part in a series of workshops please do get in touch.
Thank you for listening to the Library Love podcast, we hope you’ve enjoyed yourself and if you did, then rate and review us on Apple so that more people can find out about us.
We love to hear from you and if you’d like to get in touch with us, or if you’ve got a Reader Agony of your very own then go to www.librarylovefalkirk.com, Falkirk Libraries on Facebook or @LibFalkirk on Twitter
