Scotland's Stories

As part of our annual writing project we asked people all over Scotland to submit true stories inspired by the theme of Scotland's Stories.

Last week, during #BookWeekScotland, children from St Mary's Primary in Cumbernauld had the chance to visit the library and meet author L. D. Lapinski.
We'd like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy a visit to #WishawLib from author Karen Campbell last Tuesday as we celebrated #BookWeekScotland. It was a fantastic evening that we hope you enjoyed as much as we did.
To celebrate #BookWeekScotland we've been sharing some of our fave #kidsbooks featuring maths. To round off the week we have a selection of picture books about famous mathematicians from history. Are there any others you'd add? #MathsWeekScot #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #kidslit #kidsbooks #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š
