Book Week Scotland 2025: Add a Line poem

Book Week Scotland – now in its fourteenth year – is an annual celebration of books and reading across the country, taking place this year from 17th – 22nd November. 

We are delighted to take part this year again and you too can participate! The theme for this year’s Book Week Scotland is friendship, and during the week, visitors to the Taigh Chearsabhagh Cafe are invited to add a line to our ongoing community poem about friendship; what it means to them.

If you are passing, or enjoying a relaxing moment in the Cafe, please add a few words and see how the poem grows over the week!
