Exhibition: Dear Library


(Jun 2025-Apr 2026)

To mark its 100th birthday, the National Library of Scotland presents a special exhibition. 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.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
