Moray Libraries recognised for digital learning success
The Moray Libraries service has been highly commended at the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) Awards 2026 for its Digital Learning Team's Connected Programme.
The Digital Learning Team provides a wide range of opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to develop their digital skills, build confidence and explore new technologies. From after-school Digital and STEM Clubs, coding, e-sports and the Gaming Hub, to supporting adults through Job Clubs, the IT Help Hub and IT taster courses for complete beginners through to recognised ICDL and Qualifications Scotland qualifications.
The team also delivers digital experiences both in libraries and through outreach to schools and community groups, using technologies such as LEGO coding, Virtual Reality headsets, interactive floor projectors and 3D printing. Alongside this, the team create a welcoming, inclusive space for learning, studying and business meetings.
Chair of Moray Council's Education, Communities and Leisure Services Committee, Cllr Kathleen Robertson, welcomed the recognition, saying: “This commendation is a fantastic achievement for our library service and recognises the positive difference the Digital Learning Team is making across Moray. Libraries are about much more than books, and this programme is helping people gain valuable skills, improve their confidence with technology and access new opportunities in education, employment and business. I’d like to congratulate everyone involved on this well-deserved recognition.”
