Good news about Bookbug sessions in the Portlethen and Newtonhill library network.
Librarian Carol Mitchell tells me there will be even more sessions, once a new member of staff is trained up.
Carol is a huge advocate of the Bookbug sessions: from two weekly at present in Portlethen up to three weekly when a new rota starts on 5 March and then four weekly when her new colleague is Bookbug-trained in April. The new rota will see the library offer a new weekly Saturday session, which she hopes is an opportunity for working mums and dads to participate for maybe the first time.
Come April – coupled with two weekly Bookbug sessions at Newtonhill Library – this will bring the total number of Bookbug sessions being delivered in the network to six per week.
I know how valued these sessions are to parents – and their children
