Dog Friendly Fridays & Saturdays

Eight libraries across Perth and Kinross welcome well-behaved dogs and their owners every Friday and Saturday. As part of the Dog-Friendly Perthshire initiative, Culture Perth and Kinross were the first library service in Scotland to welcome dogs into their buildings.

The Library service recognises the role that dogs play in providing support and companionship to many people across Perth and Kinross and the help they give to a number of people in social situations.

The eight libraries taking part in Dog-Friendly Fridays and Saturdays are the AK Bell Library in Perth, along ith AlythAuchterarderBlairgowrieComriePitlochry and Scone Libraries. All libraries taking part will be providing a bowl of water for their four-legged friends every Friday and Saturday.

Bookbug is the Scottish Book Trust’s national Early Years programme. Sessions are free, friendly, fun sessions of songs, rhymes and stories for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their families and carers to enjoy together. Our sessions are suitable for ages 0+.

There are gentle songs for bouncing babies and loads of chances to move for toddlers who’ve found their feet! There are also stories and probably a few rhymes you’ll remember from your own childhood.

Bookbug at Scone Library. Every Wednesday and Saturday from 10.30am – 11am.
