Dollar Community Library

Opening times

Saturdays 10am to 12pm

Wednesdays 2pm to 4pm

How to Join

Joining the library is FREE!

Come down to the Library and sign up for your FREE library ticket. Our friendly volunteers will be more than happy to show you where everything is and how it all works.

Please note that we are no longer a part of the Clackmannanshire Council Library Service.  You can of course be a member of both our Community Library and the Council’s Library service but our books and tickets are not interchangeable with theirs.

Children's Library

Our welcoming children’s library is colourful and cozy and a great place to develop a passion for reading. We have managed to add activities such as story time and colouring sessions to add to the fun.

Many people have generously offered to donate books.  We are happy to take most books,  as long as they are in good condition. If your unwanted books are not in good condition please take them straight to the charity shop. If you are unsure about what you can donate please contact library@dollarcdt.com

Book Club

The book club meets on the last Monday of the month at Dollar Golf Club at 7.30 pm. They can access 10 copies from a list of 45 books from Clackmannanshire’s library services and are sticking to those at moment. Current book is Wild by Cheryl Strayed. If you are keen to join, please contact Barbara Malcolm on barbara_malcolm@hotmail.com.

About the Dollar Community Library

Our new Library is staffed and run entirely by a team of local volunteers.  We believe that the Library is a vital resource for members of the Dollar Community young and old.

Our key aims are:

  • To provide a thriving community library in Dollar which is used and valued by the community
  • To encourage children to develop a love of reading and to support literacy
  • To increase social inclusion in our older population by making the library welcoming and accessible, building other events and activities around it

Clackmannanshire Council has donated us a stock of around 4000 books to start us off  (See resources section below). Where we go from here is up to us as a community!

We would love to hear from you about what kind of books you would like to see on our shelves and any recommendations for really good reads you feel other people would enjoy.  Look out for suggestion sheets around the Library or email us at library@dollarcdt.com

Posters

A big thanks to Mia for these lovely posters.  There are colouring pens and paper in the children’s library and we would love to see more children have a go at designing more!
