Dog Friendly Fridays and Saturdays

Eight libraries across Perth and Kinross welcome well-behaved dogs and their owners every Friday and Saturday. As part of the Dog-Friendly Perthshire initiative, Culture Perth and Kinross were the first library service in Scotland to welcome dogs into their buildings.

The Library service recognises the role that dogs play in providing support and companionship to many people across Perth and Kinross, and the help they give to a number of people in social situations.

The eight libraries taking part in Dog-Friendly Fridays and Saturdays are the AK Bell Library in Perth, along with AlythAuchterarderBlairgowrieComriePitlochry and Scone Libraries. All libraries taking part will be providing a bowl of water for their four-legged friends every Friday and Saturday.

Community Use of Libraries after hours

Community groups can now access Alyth Library outside staffed hours for meetings.

To use the library for a meeting, interested community groups should visit during regular opening hours to complete a short registration form. Library staff will be happy to guide you through the process and explain the operational procedures. Please check the opening times of Alyth Library before planning your visit.

Once registered, each group will need to complete a booking form for the meeting or meetings they wish to hold. Groups must also have appropriate insurance in place before a meeting can take place. Insurance can be purchased online in just a few minutes for a small fee. FAQs about insurance can be collected from the library or downloaded online here.
