Wick Library is based in the East Caithness Community Facility on Newton Road and offers a welcoming space for readers of all ages. The library hosts weekly Bookbug sessions every Wednesday from 11:00 to 11:30, and is home to the special John Mowat Collection—a unique reference archive including manuscripts currently cared for by the North Highland Archives, also located within the library. Whether you're visiting for a Bookbug session or exploring local history, Wick Library is a vibrant and valuable resource for the community.
