If you’re local, Brae Discovers Blantyre is a colourful adventure that brings our town's rich history to life through the eyes of a wee cat who loves to explore. The book takes our wee readers on a journey through the past and present of Blantyre, meeting familiar faces along the way. You and Brae explore local landmarks, meet historical figures, and uncover the hidden gems that make Blantyre unique!

DISCOVER THE WEE FREE LIBRARY
New Reading Initiative

A brand new initiative at High Blantyre aims to get more people accessing and reading books in the town.

A new kiosk will be placed in the grounds of Blantyre’s Old Parish church and known as the ‘Wee Free Library’. People of all ages will be able to borrow and swap books.

Local residents Zoe Dargue and David Lee are leading the project, with a five-foot outdoor structure containing a host of bookshelves to be constructed – and painted red – in the coming weeks with the aim of being ready for use by the start of the school summer holidays.

Zoe (pictured) is no stranger to books, having in recent years created ‘Brae Discovers Blantyre’, a children’s book which teaches young children about some of the local places and history of the town.

Speaking of this excellent venture, Zoe and David added: “We hope that Blantyre will adopt the Wee Free Library as their own, continuing to stock their own donations and allowing the community to spread the work on a noticeboard in the box – our goal is to create a hub of inspiration and connection for people of all ages to be proud to be a part of.”

Blantyre’s Wee Free Library is set to open in June or early July in time for the school summer holidays.
