The early adopters group
Realistic Medicine for public libraries
Thanking the early adopter group
This toolkit was shaped with the help of an exceptional group of public libraries in Scotland who joined us as early adopters from January to June 2026. Their openness, curiosity, and willingness to test new ideas made it possible to build something practical and rooted in real library work.
We are deeply grateful to the staff who shared their time and their honest reflections on Realistic Medicine. Their feedback helped us understand what works, what needs to change, and what matters most for library teams and the communities they support.
