Check out local Portobello Book Festival, with author, 'Des Dillon', in October. Chill out in the Reference Room listening to 'James Kelman' on the 30th July; unwind to music and the poetry of 'Don Paterson' on the 7th August. Explore the magic of 'Robert Burns' in a display celebrating the man and his poetry 250 years on. Complete your 'Gathering of the Clans' experience with a visit to our Central library display.
