Children from Carleith Primary and St Martin’s Primary were very excited to be part of West Dunbartonshire Libraries highly successful ‘Project Author’ which has been awarded funding from the Scottish BookTrust, Live Literature programme for the 3rd year running.
The project involves two sessions with an author in the school’s local Library. Carleith Primary went along to Duntocher Library and met the well known writer and illustrator Frank Rodgers from Glasgow, whilst children from St Martin’s Primary in Alexandria met new, up-and-coming author D.A. Nelson from Cardross. In the first session the classes listened to the authors talking about their craft and what it’s like to be a writer. Frank Rodgers, who is also an illustrator, showed the children how to draw pictures of his characters.
