Our Services

Check it out logo There are 14 community libraries in West Lothian and we also have two mobile libraries, which will visit outlying areas. If you want to find out about West Lothian's past, search your family tree or access a variety of online databases, then visit our new Heritage and Information Centre in County Buildings, Linlithgow.

Library membership is open to anyone who lives, works or has an interest in West Lothian. All you need to join is two forms of identification, one of which must include your name and address. There is no minimum age to join and it's FREE to borrow books and to use the computer.
