A Dunblane house has reached the final of Scotland's Home of the Year Show. The final will be this Wednesday on BBC Scotland followed by Monday on BBC1. The house has wowed judges by its collection of 70s furniture and artefacts. It has also made amazing use of access to wooded areas behind the house. You may recognise the location from the programme, but we're not planning to give anything away!

E-Books from Stirling Council Libraries are moving to a new platform
Access to digital e-books and audiobooks will switch from RBdigital to the Libby app on Tuesday 23 February, 2021.
Libby is a free, award-winning app where library members can continue to borrow and enjoy digital content from their public library.
Readers will still be able to access their current downloads on RBdigital for the length of the lending period for each title, even if that date goes past the switchover on 23 February.
However, after this point users will have to download and sign up to Libby to browse, borrow, and enjoy all the same great e-books and audiobooks which were available in the RBdigital app from Stirling Libraries.
There will be some downtime in the RB Digital app in the afternoon of the 23rd February during the switchover.
For more information, visit: https://www.overdrive.com/RBdigital-transition-preview
