North Ayrshire Libraries staff worked alongside sixth year pupils from Kilwinning Academy involved in the school’s Health and Wellbeing Hub to organise the event, with activities including DigiDabble, a silent disco, chair exercises, mindfulness sessions, a laughter workshop, storytelling, KA:Leisure health checks and an uplifting family film with pizza and popcorn.

The event is part of a Scottish Government-funded project administered by the Scottish Library and Information Council, titled ‘Co-creating libraries for health and wellbeing’, with North Ayrshire being one of the three pilot areas to involve communities in developing library services for health and wellbeing.
