| 'A Guid Read', an exhibition to encourage readingA selection of well-known locals have listed their favourite books, with reasons why they have enjoyed them. We'll have photos of the locals with their reviews and the books themselves - everything from Crime and Punishment to Oor Wullie. People are encouraged to read the books and we're going to have (in the best Amazon tradition) a section if you enjoyed this book you might also enjoy...... There will be book marks on which you can say whether or not you have enjoyed the book and there will be a competition with book token prize for the best review. Hawick Library: starting 19 May 2007 Contact: Alison Watson, Adult Learning Worker, Hawick Local Education Office, Library Buildings, Hawick or Fiona Morrison, Adult Literacies Development Worker, Burnfoot Community School, Hawick.
