"The beauty of the scheme is that it connects writers with readers, enabling us to reach out into communities all across Scotland, bringing books alive to potential new readers - it's a wonderful resource"

"Earlier this month, I hosted an author event with funding from Live Literature Scotland and it was brilliant! We invited Cathy Cassidy to come talk with 20 competition winners and the pupils had a wonderful time. It has made the library even more popular and has got everyone reading with gusto!"
Sarah-Jane Brand, librarian at Notre Dame High School, Glasgow
