        Justin Brook (Youth Music Initiative) will encourage participation in a percussion
        workshop. No experience is required, all are encouraged to join in and try something
        new.
     
    
        The aim of the workshop is to widen access to cultural activity and increase participation
        in new ventures. As a backdrop to the workshops, Aberdeenshire Libraries will be
        promoting e-learning with libraries and engaging with staff to encourage uptake
        of family learning activities as well as participation in reading groups and film
        clubs and services for older readers.
