National Library of Scotland, also known as NLS, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1925, it operates with approximately 190 employees. It reported $61.7M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a provider of media and TV services and classified as a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company operates as Scotland's largest book repository, hosting over 26 million items, 7 million manuscripts, and 2 million maps.
On April 30, 2026, the National Library of Scotland scheduled a "Creative Making: Sashiko embroidery" workshop, introducing participants to the Japanese art of mending textiles using the sashiko stitch to reduce waste and pollution. Earlier, an event scheduled for April 22, commemorating the 100th anniversary of author Agnes Owens' birth and exploring her archives to reappraise her legacy, was postponed. Previously, on April 14, the NLS highlighted the 1911 census boycott by suffragists and suffragettes in Scotland, who protested being denied the parliamentary vote by refusing to be counted in the national census and stating, "No persons here only women." The library also hosted "Dear Library: Family story sessions" on April 10, offering families opportunities to meet contemporary Scottish children's authors for readings and craft activities. Earlier in the month, on April 2, award-winning author Martin MacIntyre presented a storytelling event from his new book, 'Celtic Myths: Meet the Gods Creatures and Heroes of Celtic Legend,' exploring over 20 myths from Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany.
