The #Moon is looking stunning through the front gates of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh this evening!

Huge congratulations to the four Edinburgh and Midlothian libraries shortlisted for Library of the Year at the British Book Awards! 📚
A brilliant recognition of the hard work of staff and volunteers who make our libraries such vital community spaces. Wishing you all the very best in the finals! 🤞
