You can contact our Information Officer for information on all aspects of living with MND. We provide information on topics such as details of our services, finding accessible holiday accommodation and where to find travel insurance. Enquiries are welcomed by email, telephone, by post, or social media.

We have a comprehensive lending library of materials on motor neurone disease. We have books, journals, conference proceedings and a collection of videos and DVDs on the following topics:

• Motor Neurone Disease

Our library resources can be searched from any device with internet access on NHS Education for Scotland's The Knowledge Network website. You will need an OpenAthens account to do access the resources.

Membership of the library is free, everyone is welcome to borrow from the library and there is no cost for the use of the service. For details of membership, please email the Information Officer at info@mndscotland.org.uk  A visit to the library will allow you to make the best use of our service, so please make an appointment as the information officer works part-time.
