A number of libraries in Aberdeenshire are now offering a Click and Collect service, and Banchory is one.
The booking system allows you to collect reservations, order pre-selected library book bundles containing 10 items, pick up reading group collections, arrange a drop of your current loans and also pick up hearing aid batteries.

To use Click and Collect, you can book directly through the Online Booking System, call 01467 532929, or use the Live Chat.
Depending on the level of demand and use, it is expected that the Click and Collect service will then be rolled out to libraries in other communities.
You’ll need to be a member of the library service to order book bundles or place reservations. If you’re not a member, you can join online too!

Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action
launched their AVA Community Spirit Awards at the beginning of July to recognise Community Spirit in our villages and towns during the lockdown and were overwhelmed by the response.
CEO Dan Shaw said: “People have been nominating in their hundreds, the people in their community who have gone out of their way to help, support and put a smile on people’s faces during the pandemic.
“Many award recipients have been nominated multiple times showing the impact they have had on their community. Several of our nominations are very young showing a sense of community spirit from a young age”.
There are over 200 recipients of the AVA Community Spirit Award, including Banchory's Number One in Scott Skinner Square, and the full list can be found in AVA’s most recent newsletter, their website www.avashire.org.uk or on Facebook.
