Strathearn Community Library
Join
A library membership allows you to borrow up to 24 books, including children’s books and audiobooks. There is no charge for late returns, and all books are completely free to borrow. If you join online, you can use all our services straight away, but if you want to take any physical books out the library, you’ll need to provide proof of ID.
How to join as an Adult
As an adult, you can join one of our libraries in person, simply by bringing along a proof of address.
How to join as a Child
If you want to join as a child at one of our libraries, come in with a parent or guardian bringing in something with the adult’s name and address on it’
Proof of ID
When we are looking for proof of identity, we need an official document with your name and address on it as proof of address, & if applicable, an official document as proof that you study or work in Perth & Kinross.
The need to have proof of identity is a security measure and is intended to help us protect our stock. By protecting the stock we can ensure that there is always a good choice for you when you visit.
Join online today
You can now join the library online and access the Digital Library Service by providing just a few basic details, including your email address.

Bookbug
Bookbug is the Scottish Book Trust’s national Early Years programme. Sessions are free, friendly, fun sessions of songs, rhymes and stories for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their families and carers to enjoy together. Our sessions are suitable for ages 0+.
There are gentle songs for bouncing babies and loads of chances to move for toddlers who’ve found their feet! There are also stories and probably a few rhymes you’ll remember from your own childhood.
Bookbug at Strathearn Community Library. Every Thursday from 10.30am – 11am.
Chess Club
If your child would like to learn transferable life skills, then why not introduce them to chess? Chess helps to deepen focus, it helps to develop problem-solving skills and exercise the brain, and the chess club offers another social opportunity for your child.
The Strathearn Chess Club held at Strathearn Community Library is led by enthusiastic High School pupils. This informal club is as much about the chat as it is about the skill.
The free club runs every Wednesday (term time only) from 3.45pm – 4.45pm.
Suitable for children 8 – 12 years. Spaces are limited, so if interested, please sign up by contacting the library on 01764 657705 or via email [email protected]
Café Books
Don’t miss out on Café Books, an informal, relaxed session where people can discuss what they have been reading over a cuppa. Sessions will be on the first Saturday of the month, from 11am to 12.30pm.
Café Books is a book group where you can chat about the books you have read. Unlike conventional book groups, this group doesn’t read and discuss one book, they come together to discuss their chosen books with others.
After each session, the group leader will note any recommendations and the library will share this with the group via a follow-up email. The library will also support the group by processing book requests for those interested in reading the books under discussion.
Booking not required.
Code Club
Prepare your child for the future by introducing them to the fun and engaging world of coding. As technology advances, coding is fast becoming a fundamental skill. It helps equip children with logical thinking skills, enhances creativity and helps build confidence.
Session tutors are senior pupils from Crieff High School. Suitable for children 9-12 yrs.
Every Tuesday (Term time only) from 3.45pm – 4.45pm. Free.
Spaces are limited, so if interested, please sign up by contacting the library on 01764 657705 or via email [email protected]

Strathearn Writing Group
Come along to our monthly community writing group!
The writing group will be a relaxed gathering at Strathearn Community Library. After a few warmups, we will do a semi-structured activity, share what we have written and share our thoughts about the process.
A community of writers who support one another can be a great source of inspiration and encouragement. A writing group can offer a supportive environment of like-minded people who share a passion for telling stories.
The first session is on Tuesday 6 January 2026. Sessions run 5.30pm until 6.30pm.
