WHY ECALM
Every Child a Library Member (ECALM)
The ECALM programme offers a simple, consistent, and nationally branded approach to children’s library membership in Scotland’s public libraries. It will establish simplified joining processes at birth registration, nursery, and primary school enrolment, to ensure that every child in Scotland has access to the valuable learning resources available in public libraries.
