Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Dear libraries,
We love you! ❤️

We celebrated our love of libraries with not one, but two brilliant Bookbug sessions at Montrose Library this morning.

Can’t stress just how good this #ReadForEmpathy collection is. Delighted to start using it in the library today and to finally reveal the titles!
