A fair sized, light and airy building, with a wonderful dome skylight with massive chandelier, Woodside is a pleasant place to whittle away an hour so so perusing the wordy wears on offer. Ad to this an ample array of fairly new ish PCs open to public use and you find yourself with a good decent public library. In terms of staff on hand, everyone seems to be fairly helpful and cheery to boot so no complaints here!!!

This is a really good library run by Glasgow City Council. It has free internet access to members…read moreand allows you to take out all the usual books, dvds, cds etc. You can also return a book taken out of any GCC library here which is very convenient. The range of books is good and they should have something for everyone: they even have books in foreign languages for both children and adults. They have a good children's section and a small reference section. Although it is quite small, I would definitely say it is worth a look, especially as you live nearby. All you need to become a member and have access to all the Glasgow libraries, is proof of ID and address.

I am a regular visitor to this library now with my two little girls…read more I remember my parents taking me to our local library growing up once every couple of weeks to choose new books to borrow and there is something rather lovely that I am now doing this with my girls. William Patrick Library in Kirkintilloch is housed in a lovely bright modern building. What makes it for me is the excellent kids section with some toys to keep the very little ones amused, a family reading area, and there is always some colouring in pages and pencils left out. There are regular Bookbug sessions held for babies and toddlers, which are very popular and can be very busy. There is free internet and computer access and a small cafe area with a Costa coffee franchise and a range of newspapers available to peruse. There is a decent selection of DVDs, CDs and computer games to rent also. There are lots of little seating areas with comfy chairs dotted around the adults book section. What makes William Patrick Library for me is the relaxed comfortable environment, that is welcoming to children, and the staff are lovely and always happy to help with any enquires...

The William Patrick Library is based in a lovely new purpose built building right on the end of…read moreKirkintilloch's high street. Because of it's position and the fact that it is a new building - this particular library is accessible to everyone. It also has a great feel inside, which is something that hits you as soon as you step in the front door. The librarians are really friendly and helpful, and will even have a little bit of a joke with you which makes you feel right at home. They're also happy to put up posters for local events and charities - which makes the library a great place to go if you want to find out what is happening in your community. There's a large selection of books - both for adults and children - and the William patrick Library even has a comprehensive computer section. Definitely worth a visit!

Its a Library....decent selection of books, CD's, DVD's, internet access ( including free WiFi) and…read moreother such public amenities. However this is not my main reason for writing this review. Having been fairly recently responsible for bringing a small person into this world (as a parent, not through my human trafficking enterprise) i would, nay, must give praise to the Hillhead Library for their "bounce and rhyme" sessions on Friday afternoons. Now, just to clarify. The bouncing and rhyming in question is of the nursery rhyme variety and not of the baby booty shakin' R n B/ gangsta rap stylee' which my brain first suggested would be the case.....its amazing what lack of sleep does to the mind. The session lasts for about 30 to 40 mins and includes singing and dance moves along to a selection of nursery songs. Its fun, easy going and more importantly...freeee! A great way for new parents to introduce the little ones to songs and movement, and also a nice way for parents to meet other each other over a post "rhyme" coffee in one of the local cafes. Hillhead Library come for the books, stay for the bounce....i'll wager that's never been said before.

It's not huge (but then I am used to The Saltire Centre), but has a decent selection of books... and free wifi.

Oh and they have computers and everything now too :P The book selection is extensive and caters well to the town. Some sections could be doing with an upgrade though, particularly IT and business, sports and English literature (good selection but old copies). Staff are generally friendly (again helps when a mate works there). They run Saturday book bug every fortnight for babies-young kids for free and have various other workshops for folks of all ages. Best times to avoid are lunch times and immediately after 5pm during school term time. Pupils can get quite noisy and staff aren't as strict as they should be. E-books are also available now to rent online from the South Lanarkshire Leisure website as the library tries to keep up. Every town needs its library and folks' support.

I worried about the being replaced with self-scan machines but there is always people on hand when the computer is having a "Computer Says No" kind of day. I always reserve my books using their online catalogue and then pop in a few days later to collect them. I wish there was a way I could opt out of receiving a "Your Book is Ready to Collect" letter in the post but it's not really a big deal. My food-lovers tip is to borrow any potential cookbooks from the library first - it's good to give a few recipes a whirl before investing in the cookbook. I have a pretty full cookbook shelf already (let's just say I definitely have more than 20) so I am really cautious about buying more now, unless they're really worth it! With all the talk of Government related cuts/austere times, I'd be devastated to lose our library so I use it as much as possible. Also saves me some pennies too.

At the centre of the Dennistoun community, it provides a place lose yourself in a really good book, or marvel at their quite impressive selection of CDs that are available to rent. When I recently received a huge reading list from my university, there was no chance I'd be able to buy them all, if any! So I took a wee walk to my local library with my list in hand, wondering if they might be able to point me in the right direction. The friendly girl behind the desk took my list and searched the library catalogue for each of the books I had on my list, managing to find a couple that were held at other libraries and she happily ordered them in for me. The service provided here is second to none, as I found out when I received a pleasant phone call informing me that my book had arrived and was ready for collection. Dennistoun Library is a great place, that locals should take more advantage of. They have an extensive list of interesting books, with something for everyone, and they are more than happy to order items from other libraries for you. They provide free Internet access and rent out the latest CDs and DVDs for just £1 a time. This place is ideal for everyone from young kids attending their reading clubs, to students making use of the study room and older folks simply enjoying a read of the paper on one of the comfy sofas.
