Tributes have been paid to a creative Airdrie librarian turned author who “just loved writing” and published four books including a series of Westerns.
Anne Leishman, who spent four decades helping readers at the town’s library on Anderson Street, saw her own historical romance novel hit the shelves in 1984, followed by the adventure trilogy during the 2010s.
She died earlier this month, aged 71, at the home on Rosebank Street in Clarkston where she was born in August 1951 and where she spent her entire life – and relatives are fondly remembering her as “wonderfully talented, gentle, and full of love and kindness”.
