Highland Libraries
Highland Libraries operate a network of 41 libraries and 8 mobile libraries on behalf of The Highland Council, covering an area of 25,464 sq km with a population of 213,000. We provide books for adults and children, as well as videos, DVDs, music CDs and audio books. Any resident of Highland can become a member of their local library, giving free access to the world of literature, information, entertainment and culture. All libraries have free internet access and library members can access a variety of free online information databases from their home computers.
The library catalogue is available online and library members can request, reserve and renew books from the comfort of their own homes and offices.
Highland Libraries are responsible for the management of the Am Baile team, through the Library and Information Services Co-ordinator, based at the Library Support Unit in Inverness. The library service was the lead partner in establishing the Am Baile project and has provided many resources for the Am Baile website. Many items from our local history collections are represented, including many books from the Charles Fraser Mackintosh Collection in the Reference Room at Inverness Library. Am Baile allows access to rare and sometimes fragile library material previously available in only a few locations.
For further information on Highland Libraries visit our website.
