Kilmarnock's Literacy Problem

11 Mar 2023

When I lived in Kilmarnock, it didn't seem remotely funny that we called the library "the Dick", but looking back, that had real comic potential.

Anyone else remember the impaled butterflies? They used to be in the display cases on the ballustrade on the first floor balcony round the atrium. Looks like those display cases now shows images frm Kilmarnock past, but as a kid, it used to be filled with moths and butterflies pinned onto boards. I remember worrying if they were already dead when they were pinned on, or if the pin is what killed them!
