There is a separete chidlrens department with books at their level and smaller chairs for them to sit on. There is free internet access and a good refernce section as well. There is plenty of helpfull staff who will show you around and help you find what you are lookin for. They will order in books that are not stocked in the library if there is enough demand for the book. Parking can be a bit of a problem but there is a local supermarket quite near by and it is only a short walk from the town center. There is also a lift available.

I only use the library these days to hire out the odd novel, but in my previous life I used to regularly request specialist titles and was usually very pleased with the speed and availability of most of these. They have computers available for public use for those who don't have the internet at home, and carry out services such as photocopying and faxing for a small fee. One of the few things the council have got right in this area!

Sadly there is no free Wi-Fi at the moment and the staff could be friendlier but they're just small points for me. More important and the reason why it doesn't have 5 stars, is because they only open one evening a week. A city centre library should be open a few more evenings so those of us who work can use it more often. I'm sure there must be a way of closing off the art gallery so this can happen. Anyhoo, it is worth a visit as the sections also include graphic novels, modern classics, lgbt literature and everything in between. They can also order in books from other libraries.

Armed with my new Glasgow library card, I ventured into this place…read more Computer access with my new card plus free wifi AND lots of books makes it a strong contender for a repeat purchase or three, particularly given its good location. It's quite busy during the day and has a good buzz about it, more like a cafe with books than a library with a cafe. Depending on what you're after, this will either be good or bad. A handy wee place I can see me going to alot over the summer.

The flavors are complex and definitely geared towards foodies. I went all in what was described as a Portuguese cheese roll which tasted like Gorgonzola very heavy which is one of my least favorite cheeses so it was a matter of personal preference. The desserts loved the banana rice pudding. It was divine and my favorite item. The chocolate mousse w/a cherry filling was to die for. The desserts were my favorites. Service is prompt and it's leisurely go at your own pace. We did not feel rushed even being 1 of the last tables remaining.

If the quality of the bites matter, this is for you! Stepping into the tea room is literally like stepping into a library. Voices are hushed and tables are spaced out widely to allow for a very intimate experience. The savory tray was filled with delectable treats that were all so well made. The sweets tray that followed was equally gorgeous and delicious! You can really tell that they take pride in creating delicate bites that are very well thought out! So tasty! At 69 pounds, the tasting is more expensive than you'll find in some of the restaurants, but the ambiance and experience is very elevated!
