Here’s lovely Vikki to tell us a little bit about herself. Vikki now works downstairs in Falkirk Library as the Community Hub Lead Librarian, but used to work in Denny Library and in Grangemouth Library too. You might have heard Vikki’s voice on our Library Love podcast.
Favourite films – It’s impossible for me to come up with just one, so I’ll narrow this down to 5 in no particular order:

Favourite music – again impossible for me to narrow this down, so here are 5 favourites:
- Billy Bragg
- Gretchen Peters
- Dolly Parton
- Marvin Gaye

Best place to read? This varies depending on the season Winter tucked up in bed with a cuppa, or summer on a sun lounger with a big hat and a beer
Favourite food? Italian and Chocolate cake
Any pets? Sunny, a quite small ginger tom but with serious attitude
Which is your local library? Falkirk, though I usually and borrow something whenever I visit any others in Falkirk District, I just can’t help myself
What does your library mean to you? The past thirty years of my working life has been spent working in various public libraries both here and in England. Public libraries have always been a big part of my life, as an avid reader I would be lost without them.
