Welcome

Back for a second year, and now taking place simultaneously in the UK, Ireland, USA and Germany on 23 April 2012, World Book Night offers avid readers the opportunity to spread their love of books amongst those who perhaps haven’t quite got the reading bug yet.

The subject of this blog will be quite familiar to colleagues at Scottish Book Trust who have the misfortune to sit near me in the office. So I’ve decided to step up on the soapbox and share my grumbling with the wider world.

This is an exciting week for Scottish Book Trust's children's team. It's the final week before the voting deadline for the Scottish Children's Book Awards.
