Make Music Scotland Instrument Libraries is an
initiative to get musical instruments into public libraries across Scotland. It
means you can borrow an instrument for free (just like you would a book)
allowing budding musicians of all ages to try something new. Instruments can
now be borrowed at The Mitchell and Ibrox Library.
Book a session if you're looking for a bit of extra
support with your newly borrowed instrument. In addition to being shown how to
hold the instrument comfortably, we'll show you how to tune it and make some
noise! We'll also signpost you to music groups throughout the city who can help
support you on your musical journey.
In addition to supporting people with an interest in music, the project is also about recycling. We want to ensure pre-loved instruments can have new life breathed (or strummed) into them. If you have an instrument you’d like to donate, please let us know. They can be dropped off at the Mitchell Library and Ibrox Library.
