For the power of public libraries
We are the membership body for public library services in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Crown Dependencies.

Across the areas we serve there are 176 individual library services with around 3,000 library branches serving over 61 million people.
Our unique approach is to bring the leaders of these services together to share experience, expertise and evidence – driving innovation and impact across the public library sector.

We are an independent charity that supports, promotes and represents public libraries. Our work is driven and led by our membership.
