Free books, along with special pocketcards featuring poems, will be distributed from 1st February 2010. Try your local library on 1st February for a copy, or come along to a Carry a Poem event – but be warned, as the books are always very popular and disappear quickly. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Books and pocketcards will be distributed through:
- Edinburgh’s 26 public libraries
- Carry a Poem events
- Selected cafes across Edinburgh
- Job centres & leisure centres
- CLAN Edinburgh to adult learner groups
- Registered book groups – email us in January 2010 to register your book group for a set to discuss at your February meeting
Edinburgh schools will receive editions of the book – for more details, visit the Schools section.
