Rambling Readers: Nurturing Natural Connections, North Lanarkshire Libraries

Project Lead: Gillian Hunt, Community Librarian

Growing a programme of outdoor walks for all ages to chat about books, the local environment and learn about local and global climate issues. Cumbernauld and Airdrie Libraries will function as Natural Connections Hubs where practical and participatory sessions are hosted, focusing on themes including bird-inspired storytelling, nature writing, sustainable upcycling craft and sewing, local conservation and natural heritage, and more.

We are delighted to receive funding to pursue our plans to create new outdoor programmes for two Town Centre libraries. Our Rambling Readers project aims to provide a new aspect to community and environmental information as well as inspire a love of reading about the greater natural world. Cumbernauld and Airdrie libraries will take up the challenge to’ Nurture Natural Connections’ , working with local charities and groups to promote the local environment and offer a range of walks, activities, and author talks.
