Opened in 1890, Central Library has six specialised departments including Central Lending, the Children’s Library, the Art & Design and Music Libraries, a large Reference Library and the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection.

Regular events and activities are organised for children, young people and adults. These include weekly Bookbug sessions for under 5s, book groups for teenage and adult readers, and a getting started with family history resources session. Throughout the year you will find an ever-changing programme of exhibitions based on library collections plus visiting displays from local artists. There is a diverse programme of author talks, craft activities and regular musical performances.

Visitors can easily find a comfortable place to sit and take a break from the busy city, browse the collections, study, use a PC or pick up the latest bestseller.
