As the professional association for library workers in Scotland and a registered charity, CILIPS believes that libraries are essential to Scottish society now more than ever, so why not drop into our pop-up Gathering Library to enjoy some of those benefits for yourself? Whether you fancy a few minutes of downtime browsing the brilliant library books we've brought with us – did you know that reading for just six minutes a day can boost mental health by up to 68%? – or would like to experience how libraries inspire creativity by designing your own recycled bookmark, we can't wait to connect with fellow delegates and library lovers from all across the sector.

Our friendly team of three will be on hand to chat about the positive difference that libraries make as the beating hearts of their communities and how they might work with you or your organisation, and you can also pick up a free pin badge celebrating the National Library of Scotland's centenary 'Love Libraries' campaign as a thank you for stopping by. Have a favourite title you'd now like to share with other readers? Book donations are welcome and can be added to our bookshelf, and may be passed to one of our ethically driven partners to help fund literacy initiatives.
