  • All interested librarians, teachers and pupils may suggest titles for inclusion on the web site

  • Suggestions will be considered by an editorial group of librarian

  • In the event of disagreement the final decision will rest with the Reading Webs Committee

  • The web site will be maintained and updated continuously

  • “Scottish” is defined as: by a Scottish born writer, having a Scottish theme, or reflecting Scottish life and culture

Process:

  • Suggestions for inclusion may be sent to members of the working group at any time

  • Where possible the person making the suggestion should write a short blurb for the book they are suggesting, in language appropriate to the age range for which the book is intended (see Guidelines )
