The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Denny Library and Denny High School on winning the Library Reading Culture Challenge Award in the 2023 First Minister's Reading Challenge; recognises that the Challenge is run by Scottish Book Trust, working closely with Education Scotland, to celebrate the reading journeys of schools, libraries, and community groups across Scotland; understands that the Library Reading Culture Challenge Award was presented to members of the young adult reading group who attend Denny High School and meet once a week in Denny Library; further understands that the library and school jointly launched the reading group in October 2022 for young people in the community, to support mental health and wellbeing and to provide a safe space to socialise and share a love of reading; notes that the judging panel praised the reading group’s engagement with other local community groups and strong promotion of visiting their local library; commends the group for their additional volunteer work at the library, and hopes that their joy of visiting their local library continues.
