Made in collaboration with partners across the country, this love letter to libraries will intrigue, energise, and galvanise you. You'll leave with a whole new perspective on how libraries can help you, and how you can help them.
Browse bookshelves in an open reading room filled with recommendations from the public and well-known Scottish figures. See libraries in popular culture, protest banners and badges, vintage film footage, and more.
