Love Libraries – Case Studies
Scotland’s libraries are the heart of our communities, schools and higher education institutions, offering a wealth of resources and services. The Love Libraries campaign aims to celebrate the successes and legacies of libraries. We want to reinforce the value of libraries and library staff, engender public appreciation, encourage greater use of libraries, promote fun and wellbeing and champion and raise awareness of library services.
We hope to reach people who don’t know what a positive impact libraries could have on their lives (such as reducing social isolation or helping them gain new skills) and therefore don’t use a library. We also want to engage those people enjoy reading and support libraries, but don’t necessarily use their library, and also those people who do love, use and value their libraries – and encourage them to share why.
The Love Libraries campaign is brought to you by ourselves and:
- National Library of Scotland (the campaign is being run as part of its Centenary celebrations in 2025)
- Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC)
- Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries (SCURL)
- Association of Public Libraries in Scotland (APLS)
- Young Scot
- Scottish Book Trust.
This page will host all of the case studies shared by libraries across Scotland.
