Toy library is ready for play

A TOY library is to open next week in the Gorgie/Dalry area.

The facility launches on Wednesday in St Martin's Church, Dalry Road, and will then be open on Mondays from 10:45am to 11:15am and Wednesdays from 1pm to 2:30pm.

Partner churches in the area – St Michael's, St Martin's, St Colm's and Gorgie – decided to open the library following the closure of a similar venture years ago.

Grants were received from the Daisy Chain Trust, city council and Scottish Community Foundation.

Anyone with donations, or time to volunteer, should contact Mamie Donald on 0131-346 1179.
