PUBLIC libraries across Scotland have received a major funding boost to support a new series of projects.
The Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC), which distributes funding on behalf of the Scottish Government, has selected eight initiatives to receive grants.
Announcing the initiatives receiving Scottish Government grants during a visit to Danderhall Library in Edinburgh, Scottish Culture Minister Neil Gray took the opportunity to highlight the role libraries play in closing the attainment gap, reducing social exclusion, and promoting equality of opportunity and reading.
