National Library of Scotland
A large Library-themed snakes and ladders gameboard.

Library members are invited to embrace their inner child and celebrate all things library with us. From ‘booksnakes and ladders’ to palaeography challenges, test yourself and discover new things about the Library in a relaxed and friendly setting.

This is a drop-in event in our Boardroom.

'Members Connect' is a series of informal events for Library members to connect with each other through the Library’s collections, people, and spaces.

Each session focuses on a different theme, exploring the Library through collection highlights and behind-the-scenes insights, with opportunities for activities and conversations.

These sessions invite you to meet fellow members, get to know the Library, and come together as a community.

Tea and coffee will be provided.

These events are for Library members. Not yet a member? It is free to join. Please register as a member before coming.
