LIBRARIES across Ross-shire will welcome the return of events for a globally recognised book event next week.
High Life Highland (HLH) will celebrate World Book Day as libraries host events across Ross-shire
For the 25th anniversary of the literary celebration on March 3, HLH libraries will hold Bookbug sessions, host competitions, fancy dress, book sales, displays and people can swap book tokens for special books.
Principal libraries manager for High Life Highland Julie Corcoran said: “We’re delighted to be able to celebrate World Book Day in our libraries again this year and there will be lots to get involved in for young and old.
“World Book Day aims to promote reading for pleasure and our libraries play a unique role in changing lives through a love of books and shared reading.
“Getting young people interested in reading is vitally important and provides skills that will have an impact on a child's future so do come and visit us and see what we have to offer.”
