The National Library of Scotland has launched the Love Libraries campaign, a nationwide initiative aimed at encouraging more people to join libraries and make use of all they have to offer. This campaign, which runs until October 2025, focuses on the impact and value of libraries everywhere. It is organised in collaboration with the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC), the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals Scotland (CILIPS), the Association of Public Libraries Scotland (APLS), the Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries (SCURL), Young Scot and the Scottish Book Trust.
As part of this campaign, we encourage all staff and students to join their local library and take advantage of the numerous resources and facilities available. Libraries are not just about books; they are community hubs that offer a wide range of services to support your academic and personal growth.
