November’s Library Literary Salon

In this ‘National Year of Reading’ we’re having a quick look at the great work of our Libraries and Librarians at this month’s Salon.

About this Event

Any writer will agree the best route to being a good writer is to be a good reader. It’s unlikely that designating an official year for the act of reading has made a huge impact on our literary community… or has it? Perhaps the best people to tell us about the impact of this National Year of Reading are our Librarians, so we’re delighted to welcome two guests from the magical world of libraries.

We’ll have Paul Hudson from Portobello Library (also Portobello Book Festival and CYMERA) who has an interesting story about his route to ‘librarianism,’ joined by Marion Kunderan, Principal Officer from the Scottish Library and Information Council. We’ll hear about the impact of the Wee Read campaign – a simple invitation for everyone to stop and take a few minutes to enjoy the pleasure of reading – and learn about this year’s impact on reading hab
