Membership
This project incorporates a range of initiatives relating to the visitor journey at our George IV Bridge building, all with Equalities, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at their core.
They include making the joining process easier and more inclusive, introducing 'taster' sessions to the reading rooms and improving signage and way-finding outside and around the building to create a much more user-friendly experience. What does it mean to be a user of the Library?
Accessible
We are reviewing our buildings in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The work that will arise from the recommendations, can help us make our physical spaces more accessible and broaden the range of people who can engage with our collections and public programmes.
Open-access collections in the General Reading Room
This project will revamp the experience of being in the General Reading Room by changing the material on the open shelves. Selected material will showcase the variety and depth of our collections and give readers a more welcoming space where anyone can see themselves and their history reflected.
