What we do
The main purpose and objective of the Friends of Innerpeffray Library – is to support the continuation of Innerpeffray Library and in doing so preserve an important part of Scotland’s Heritage. The Friends were founded in 1993 with the aim of generating funds to be used for the preservation of the fabric of the Library and the care and restoration of the books themselves. The Friends also offer support in many practical ways at Library events and work closely with the Keeper of Books and the Governors for the greater good of Innerpeffray Library.
Almost all of the money raised by the Friends is donated directly to the Innerpeffray Mortification, the charity that runs the Library. Subscriptions have always formed the core of this donation while events, talks and lectures raise awareness of the Library as well as vital funds.
Friends of Innerpeffray Library is a registered charity, Scottish Charity No: SC 023545
