Young readers are able to download and read or listen to a fantastic selection of books through BorrowBox, an online resource that can support pupils to access free reading materials.
Access to BorrowBox requires a Stirling Council library membership and local libraries are ready to help budding bookworms to get set up on the platform.
Stirling’s library services have also purchased a number of titles to allow up to 500 learners to access at the same time, enabling schools to join in with a city-wide read and promote a sense of community while reading.
Any Stirling resident who would like their child to take part should contact their school and sign them up for a library card if they do not already have one.
Children and Young People Convener, Cllr Margaret Brisley said: “BorrowBox is an excellent platform available through Stirling’s library services and I’m delighted that schools and nurseries can offer this to pupils.
“Every opportunity to foster a love of reading in our young people is valuable and I’d encourage families to make sure that their children are able to use BorrowBox, either in school or at home.”
