Open Shelves: Curtain up!
To celebrate the Edinburgh International Children's Festival, we are showcasing a selection of children's performing arts-themed books in a special Open Shelves display.
Readers of all ages will enjoy these books which explore everything that goes on before and after the call for "Curtains Up!".
From pop-up theatres to playscripts, stage shows to shadow puppets, musicals, theatre-themed novels, books about ballet and orchestras, even and how-to guides for aspiring young performers, there's something here for everyone.
