Scottish Book Trust will be running the first Book Week Scotland, a national celebration of books and reading, from 26th November to 2nd December 2012.
During Book Week Scotland we will be working with a wide range of partner organisations, including libraries, schools, museums and workplaces, to deliver a packed programme of free projects and events, bringing Scots of all ages and from all walks of life together to celebrate the pleasures of books and reading.
Join us for The Reading Hour at 11 a.m. on 30 November, when thousands of people across Scotland will stop what they’re doing and read.
As part of the celebrations, we will be publishing a special book of writing celebrating Scotland‘s favourite places. Written by members of the public and well-known authors, thousands of copies of My Favourite Place will be distributed free throughout Scotland during Book Week Scotland. A free downloadable audio book will also be available.
We have appointed five Readers in Residence, each of whom will work with a Scottish library to stimulate interest in reading through a range of innovative projects.
We have also selected members of the League of Extraordinary Booklovers from all the applications that have come in. Thanks to everyone who applied!
