Bookbug Week is 10
We hope you’ve all had a chance to watch the very special message the First Minister recorded for us (earlier this year before Covid-19). We are celebrating 10 years of the programme on our website too so please have a look – highlights include an article from our own Head of Early Years, Catriona Wallace, reflecting on 10 years of Bookbug, a film of Debi Gliori talking about how she created Bookbug, as well as a catalogue of all the books that have been in the Bookbug Bags over the last decade – see how many of them you’ve read!
We’d just like to say a huge thank you to you all for everything you have done to make Bookbug the success it is, and for all the joy and support you have brought to families over the last 10 years.

We hope you will join us in celebrating Bookbug Week all next week online and on our social media. Here’s an overview of our main content again.
