GMB Centenary Book Group
Between 19 April and 18 October 2021 the GMB Fellowship ran seven online book group sessions on Zoom in association with Orkney Library and Archive. This is an extension of the Library’s popular book groups which, through the medium of Zoom, enabled an international audience to join us. Each session featured a book – or other writing, as in the case of Seven Books 4: Bairns’ Stories – by George Mackay Brown and is introduced by a guest writer/ artist/ editor.
