Kindle clubs

Literacy

Aberdeen’s Northfield Academy library has won a pound;3,260 Awards for All (Scotland) Lottery grant to set up Kindle clubs to encourage reading. The cash will be used to buy e-books and paper copies of the same books, enabling pupils to read e-books on a Kindle in school and borrow the same books to take home to continue reading.
