What is a national library?

National libraries have a vital role in society as “custodians of the nation’s intellectual

heritage, thus providing organisation, access to and preservation of the national

imprint in all media.” (International Federation of Library Associations and

Institutions (IFLA), 1998)

'Reading old articles gave children a feel for the language and contents of reports years ago – a good introduction to our 'Communication' project.'C Inch, P5 teacher, Prestonfield Primary School

'The workshop fitted in very well with the work we have been doing ... The NLS is such a marvellous resource I am sure it could support many areas of classroom teaching.'A Reid, P5 teacher, Lorne Primary School
