The Pleasures and Power of Reading, with Peter Mackay

2:30 pm
-
3:30 pm

What happens when we read? What is it that we get from losing ourselves in a book? Does reading actually improve our wellbeing?
Join Makar Peter Mackay for this special event for Book Week Scotland, as he explores the impact that being a reader has had on his life. Peter will be in conversation with Philippa Cochrane, Head of Reading Communities at Scottish Book Trust. We will also be joined by Dr Sarah McGeown from the University of Edinburgh who will share some of the insights from the ongoing Reading and Wellbeing research project.

This event will be BSL interpreted and livestreamed.

In partnership with the Scottish Book Trust as part of Book Week Scotland
