What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Library of Innerpeffray was founded 345 years ago as Scotland’s first free public lending library, a radical idea at the time, but one that went on to revolutionise the accessibility of information, education and knowledge for everyone. Our Founder said in 1680 that his library was “For the benefit and encouragement” of its users. Today the Library is a museum and a place of study, research and inspiration, still open to all. We share the story of this unique place and the books that changed the lives of the local people of Strathearn over three centuries of reading history. We hold exhibitions, offer opportunities for volunteers, run a programme of events and activities and welcome visitors from all over the world to explore the amazing heritage of this important place in Scotland's story.

*OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees and its principal office address as part of the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. They are also required to publish the annual report and accounts for each charity, including the names of some individuals. The only exceptions to this are where a charity or one of its trustees applies for this information to be excluded from the Register entry and where OSCR is satisfied that if it were published then the safety or security of a person or premises would be jeopardised.
