Getting bugged by a good read
Bookbug Week, an annual celebration of Scotland’s national book gifting programme, will take place all this week (May 15-21), with free events for children and babies held across the county.
Bookbug sessions are free story, song and rhyme sessions run by libraries.
This year’s theme is Bookbug’s Big Giggle – encouraging parents and carers to share playful songs and stories with their children, it’s all about building vital bonds between caregivers and kids.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) nurseries can also tune in to watch a fun-filled Authors Live event with Alex T Smith, streamed live at 11am.
Some fantastic Bookbug prizes will also be up for grabs in on-line competitions throughout the week.
