Free hot drinks and soup will be available at two Midlothian libraries from today as they opened their doors as Warm and Well hubs to support locals during winter.
The hubs in Lasswade and Newbattle libriares will provide warm spaces for people to gather alongside drinks and soup and bread during normal opening hours.
They will also have free wi-fi for residents along with books, card games and jigsaws to help them pass the time.
