Inverclyde Libraries Benefit from Scottish Government Funding

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Inverclyde Libraries will benefit from £38,152 worth of funding from the last tranche of awards made from the Scottish Government’s £1.25 million Public Library Covid Relief Fund, which is administered by the Scottish Library and Information Council; understands that Inverclyde Libraries will use this funding to tackle social isolation and bridge the digital divide through their Making It Real project, which offers a tailored digital inclusion outreach programme; notes that this programme targets residents within Inverclyde’s most deprived communities who are, in turn, it believes, most disadvantaged by their lack of access to digital services; appreciates that the project also hopes to reconnect people to the wider library offer; commends Inverclyde Libraries on their efforts to tackle social and digital exclusion in the area, and wishes them all the best as they roll-out their Making It Real programme.
