More than a quarter of Scotland s libraries are still closed a month after they were allowed to reopen.
And there is concern that some of the 123 public libraries across the country that remain locked will not return.
Some have not opened their doors in more than a year, and many areas are only offering reduced or remote services such as click and collect.
The Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) said there was concern some services may never reopen.
The organisation believes libraries will play a vital role in helping some of society s most vulnerable people recover from the pandemic.
