****Apologies for cross-posting*** There are only a few places remaining on the tour of the Burns Monument Centre located in Kilmarnock on Friday 10th July at 2pm. This visit is orgainsed by the Information Services Group (Scotland). 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.

A map can be found at: http://www.burnsmonumentcentre.com/visit.html. There is no charge for the event. Booking is essential as there are only a limited number of places available.
