The Information Services Group (Scotland) invites you to a tour of the
Burns Monument Centre located in Kilmarnock on Friday 10th July at 2pm.
The Burns Monument Centre (http://www.burnsmonumentcentre.com/) opened
in March in Kilmarnock's Kay Park. It is a new facility built around
the 1879 statue of Robert Burns by W.G. Stevenson. The Centre provides
a local studies library, archive store and registry office, with a
flexible space for weddings and conferences. It is built in local
stone and is a major addition to services in East Ayrshire. This visit
provides a great opportunity to see how a variety of services can be
integrated successfully.
The Centre is a 10 minute walk from Kilmarnock's Bus Station and Train
Station and the nearest local bus stop is on Strawberrybank Road. Car
and disabled parking bays are available. A map can be found at:

places are available. Preference will be given to ISG members.
