Libraries are 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 on Saturday 4th May.Falkirk Library top floor closures
- Part closure Thursday 25 and Friday 26 for essential lighting work.
To minimise disruption, each day only one side of the top floor will be closed off while work is carried out. This means there will still be study space and PCs available.
Thursday closure: The right side with the non-fiction books and PCs. If you want to borrow a book, or use the microfiche, please speak with a member of staff. We've moved extra desks into the study area for everyone who has exam prep.
Friday closure: The study area and the PC suite, but you'll find PCs in the other side of the top floor and we'll move extra desks across.
- Study area closed Monday 29 April
The study area to the right of the Library's top floor will be closed from 4pm on Monday 24th April for an event.
Join Dopey Monkey at Falkirk Library for the release of their new EP.
Dopey Monkey is a collaboration between Scottish composers and musicians Martin Lee Thomson (Euphonium) and Danielle Price (Tuba). An art ensemble with ambitions to venture beyond the traditional boundaries associated with their instruments, Dopey Monkey’s journey since their formation in 2015 has seen the duo explore a range of mixed media creations, and present bespoke performances that highlight the inquisitive dynamic of the duo’s partnership.
In 2023 with little to no agenda, Dopey Monkey explored the past and present of the canal pathways running through and around Falkirk. Forming as an EP of new music and accompanying Zine, "Waterwords" takes inspiration from and reflects upon their findings.
Dopey Monkey’s releases and commissions thus far have taken the shape of genre-defying collages inspired by curiosity, playful collaboration, storytelling and art, bringing a DIY approach to their compositional process and to the visual complements that they craft, while seeking to construct an exciting, inspiring space for artistic and sonic exploration, and an inviting atmosphere for listeners and collaborators to accompany them on their journey.
Times: Doors : 6.45pm | Concert : 7pm - 8pm.
Please note: This is a free one-hour indoor event. Refreshments will be provided at the venue.
