National Library of Scotland, also known as NLS, is a privately owned institution headquartered in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1925, it employs approximately 190 individuals. The institution's main product focus includes search, social, and retail media, alongside its primary function as Scotland's largest book repository, which hosts over 26 million items, 7 million manuscripts, and 2 million maps.
The National Library of Scotland's moving image archive will celebrate its 50th anniversary on September 11, 2026, with a Doors Open Day event focusing on Glasgow's cinema history, including venues like ABC 1 and the Cosmo (now GFT). Previously, on September 8, the NLS scheduled a monthly "Library Social" workshop centered on tactile and sensory books, featuring facilitator Lily Stone, whose PhD research focused on tactile picture books for children with vision impairments. This followed a September 6 workshop titled "Exploring tactile books," which delved into the history and evolution of tactile books, showcasing items from the National Library's collection and beyond. Earlier, on September 4, a family workshop invited participants to create their own tactile books after examining examples from the library's collection. In August, specifically on August 29, the NLS hosted its weekly "Open Book" drop-in session, where attendees read stories and poems aloud and engaged in discussions guided by Open Book Lead Readers.
