ANGUSalive Libraries are very excited to celebrate this year with two engaging author talks as well as events in and around the schools of Angus. Even if you can’t attend one of our events, why not drop in to your local library, pick up your next page-turner and join us in celebrating this year’s Book Week Scotland.
