Welcome to Cults Library Trust
Embedded Files
Welcome to Cults Library Trust, a new charitable organisation dedicated to reopening Cults Library and transforming it into a vibrant community hub for learning, culture, and connection.
Libraries are at the heart of strong communities - they are spaces where people of all ages can learn, engage, and find support. When Cults Library closed in 2023, the loss was deeply felt across Lower Deeside. However, the community’s passion for its library never faded. That’s why we formed Cults Library Trust: to restore this cherished facility and give it a new lease of life.
Our vision goes beyond simply reopening the library. We aim to create a welcoming, inclusive space that supports literacy, lifelong learning, social wellbeing, and community activities. Whether you’re looking for a good book, a quiet place to study, a space to host events, or a warm and friendly environment to meet others, our goal is to make the new Cults Library a place for everyone.

Exciting News: The Cults Library Trust is Officially Established!
The closure of several libraries across Aberdeen was a significant loss for our communities. However, today marks a major step forward in our efforts to reopen one of them - Cults Library. With our newly granted charitable status from OSCR, Scotland's Charity Regulator, we are now preparing to submit our full and final Community Asset Transfer request. This brings us closer to restoring Cults Library as a vital community-based educational facility.
David Laing, Chairperson commented "As Chair of the newly founded Cults Library Trust, I am incredibly optimistic about the future. I look forward to working closely with local partners, supporters, and Aberdeen City Council to bring this project to
life. If you're passionate about community, education, and the power of libraries, we'd love to have you involved. Please feel free to reach out!"
