We came up with lots of ideas about how to improve engagement of our Reading Culture within our community. We then had a vote on our ideas and we chose to put story stones in the woods. Unfortunately our original plan backfired due to lack of permission from a land owner and so we contacted Mr MacTaggart who is the new owner of Cairnmore Woods. He is currently in discussion with his insurance company to check if this is possible. In the meantime we have been creating our story stones with a partner by drawing a picture of a character from our favourite books and then doing a recording of what we think about the book. This will then be put on a QR code for the back of the stone so that our community can hear about our favourite books. We have been working with the Ileach to share our reading news too and also been working with the This is Islay Podcast team to share our learning to a different audience.
