Support us

Since 1984 the Scottish Poetry Library has worked to collect, conserve and share the nation’s poetry. Our mission is to bring people and poems together, for which we rely on the support of our public partners, as well as the generosity of our volunteers, Friends and donors.

Each contribution helps us to build our collection, run our events program, undertake special projects and take poetry into the community through education and engagement work.
