Become our friend

The Scottish Poetry Library is a unique national resource for the enriching art of poetry, particularly Scottish poetry, bringing people and poems together through its collection, a wide range of activities, and through its online presence. It has grown from its donated collection of 300 books in 1984 to a collection of over 40,000 items, including the Edwin Morgan Archive.

We could never have done this without the support of our Friends.

Will you join them, and ensure that the SPL can continue to preserve and develop its collections and services?
