We're super proud of our Bookbug for the Home volunteers 💛

This fantastic programme recognises that some families need extra support to access the benefits of Bookbug. We train people working and volunteering with families to inspire them to share stories, songs and rhymes in their homes.

A very musical and happy vibe in the office today, thanks to Scottish Book Trust who are training some of our lovely volunteers in Bookbug in the home. The volunteers will be able to use it as part of their home visits to families - bringing books and songs to children across Perth and Kinross ❤ 🎼📖
