Be transported to Africa by dancer Adie Baako and drummer Thomas Annang. Adie and Thomas grew up near the coast in Ghana. There was no electricity in their village-imagine a life without wi-fi! - so singing, drumming and dancing was often the best way to entertain yourself. Audiences of all ages will enjoy the infectious drum beats and spectacular dance moves.

This is a hugely enjoyable ghost story, atmospheric and chilling. It is a story about an attempt in 1935 by five Englishmen to climb Kangchenjunga, a Himalyan mountain more deadly than Everest. A rucksack belonging to a dead mountaineer appears to follow them. Is it an optical illusion? Is someone menacing the group? The ice ‘creaking and groaning’ are vividly described. This is a ghost story to chill and thrill, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dark Matter by the same author is also excellent.
Karyl, Elder Park Library.
The library was gifted to Govan by Mrs Isabella Elder and opened by Andrew Carnegie in 1903.
Mrs Elder donated £10,000 to meet the cost of building, insisting that the library must open on Sundays.
