Congratulations to Portobello Teenage Book Group for their 2015 Adult Learners’ Achievement Award in the Young Adults Category.
The award ceremony was held in the City Chambers on Wednesday May 20th and thanks to Alex and Skye for attending to accept the award on the groups’ behalf.
The judges for the award said “The quotes from the learners about the impact of their learning were particularly powerful and the panel were very impressed”
Portobello Teenage Book group was founded in 2003 and is one of the longest running book groups in Edinburgh City Libraries. There are currently 14 members in S5 and S6 and they meet monthly during term time.
Although the focus of the group is around books, it’s also been a very effective forum to discuss and debate a wide range of social topics in an informal and non judgemental atmosphere. The members of the group choose the books for discussion which range from popular young adult fiction through to literary classics.
