Online Bookbug Sessions: Publisher permissions

Permissions advice and recommendations for books to include in your online Bookbug Sessions.

Stack of books

When sharing books online, it's essential that you have the permission of the publisher, credit the book correctly in the video and also take the film down after the specified date. If you would like to include a certain book in your online Bookbug Session, you must contact the publisher to request permission to use it. Every publisher has different guidelines on usage for this. A Google search should help you find contact details, but if you're struggling please contact bookbug@scottishbooktrust.com and we will endeavour to help.

Please note all videos must be available free of charge.
