National Library of Scotland takes bookings for Edinburgh reading rooms

From the National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk):

Update: 20 April 2021

We have today opened the booking service for our Edinburgh reading rooms, in advance of the reading rooms reopening for limited service on 27 April.

Library card holders must prebook a seat using the online booking forms. When they arrive for their visit, they must show their booking acknowledgement email in either printed or electronic form.

We have also opened the online preordering systems for collection material. Preorders need to be made at least 24 hours before the pre-booked reading room session.

Visit our reopening information page for details of what facilities and services will be available from 27 April.

For further details visit https://www.nls.uk/reopening/. Note that "Visits are limited to one per week, due to the reduced capacity for seating and the need to ensure that as many of our readers as possible benefit from access."
