Bookbug

 

In April 2009 Scottish Book Trust was given responsibility for the Early Years Book Gifting Programme by the Scottish Government.  Bookbug is the friendly mascot for this initiative.  The full Bookbug programme is a universal early intervention programme, made up of several elements including the gifting of Bookbug packs and Bookbug sessions.
