It's a special week in libraries this week because it's... Bookbug Week. 
We've made this special episode of For the Love of Books to celebrate all things Bookbug. Our E-Services Librarian, Chris Wilson, caught up with four of our fantastic Bookbug Leaders to find out why libraries love the programme so much, and to find out if there's more to it than just singing nice songs and rhymes in the library.
He's joined by Susan, Jean, Fraser and Lindsay from Wishaw Library to find out all about it.
Keep listening to the end as well for a special ending featuring their favourite songs and rhymes.

Join us as Jennie and Pari take on another theme from Bea in today's Bea's Books Edition.

But Jennie and Pari are sure to provide an unexpected twist to hit the theme.
