Dog Friendly Fridays & 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 ith Alyth, Auchterarder, Blairgowrie, Comrie, Pitlochry and Scone Libraries. All libraries taking part will be providing a bowl of water for their four-legged friends every Friday and Saturday.
