The first location of 2024 will see The Nature Library going to North Berwick as part of The Seabird Centre’s Winter Wonders programme, with a collection of books for embracing the remaining winter days ahead.
The books will look at what happens to flora, fauna and the landscape when the temperature drops and the light leaves, life in cold climates, migrations, ice and snow, glaciers forming and melting, a lot of sea, a lot of birds. As always there’ll be a mix of fiction and non-fiction, poetry, guides, children’s and young adult and any books that don’t quite fit into any of the above.
24 January - 24 March
10am - 4pm daily
FREE
