ScottishPower Swap Shop reaches out to 5,000 schoolchildren to mark fifth anniversary of ScottishPower Swap Shop,
Children across Scotland are set to take part in the country’s biggest book swap when thousands of kids exchange their favourite stories with friends in an initiative from Edinburgh International Book Festival sponsor ScottishPower.
This year is the fifth anniversary of the ScottishPower Swap Shop – an award-winning initiative which encourages primary school children to read more and recycle old books whilst raising lots of money for charity.
To commemorate the landmark year, acclaimed author Vivian French visited Edinburgh primary schools to encourage the youngsters to dig out their favourite books and share them with their classmates. ScottishPower is hoping to involve 5,000 children from across Scotland with five lucky schools getting the chance to win a visit from a children’s author attending the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
