Books are always in great condition, and there is a grat choice available. I really like that you can borrow books from this library and renew them online if you cannot get in to return them avoiding any late fees! This library also offers lessons for people who are not sure about using computers. A bit difficult to park but the bus stop is right outside and the doctors surgery is attached so it's easy to pop in on way to doctors!

Partick Library's building is absolutely gorgeous, and it stands out from the rest of the uniform…read moretenements along this stretch of Dumbarton Road. Inside, the library still has the decor of long forgotten days (the early nineties), but I quite like the fact it looks caught in a time warp! It doesn't have as much choice as neighbouring Hillhead, but it does offer a huge children's book section (complete with the cute wee chairs and tables for them!), and a good new releases section for adults. They have a score of computers placed in the room opposite, all with internet access if you have your library card. As is the case in all Glasgow libraries you can book a session online, or just turn up on the day and hope for the best. They're a great resource as you won't always have access to the net and it's free if you sign up for a card! I also appreciate the fact they isolate their PC's from the rest of the library as it can become mildly irritating hearing the tap-tap-tap a chorus of typing brings when you're trying to get through a book. Still a slightly old fashioned library but with enough commodities to keep you going. Tip about the internet though - if you're stopping by to use it, don't come during mid-afternoon as it is usually quite busy and you may be waiting a while. If you're really desperate to go online, go up to Hillhead or to Jasmin's coffee shop a few blocks down - they are about the only cafe I can think of now that still have PC's!

Only just got my Glasgow library card, which has served me well so far…read more This place is decent, with a good selection of the books in a fairly large building that has free wifi as with all Glasgow libraries. There are alot of audiobooks and childrens books as well. While it pales in comparison to the likes of The Mitchell Library (everywhere does, by comparison) it's a good wee library that is worth a visit and might turn up a surprise or two.

Whiteinch library is a historical place. Not only is it a very old building, but inside there are…read morea few very interesting artefacts celebrating Glasgow's past, with many photographs of local streets and buildings from the early 1900s to the '60s. There is also a display case about the Boy's Brigade, with old medals, photographs and clothing from back in the day. Although an old building, Whiteinch Library is quite modern inside. As well as tables and chairs in a quiet room ideal for studying students, there are a few computers with free internet access. The fact that you don't have to book these in advance and can just jump on any time makes is great - unlike Partick Library where you have to book. With only a few computers you'll be lucky to find one spare though. There is a large, separate children's room, as well as the main room, which has a great selection of fiction and non-fiction books. There are also DVDs and CDs that can be rented out. Ironically, even though one always expects a library to have a strict rule of keeping quiet, the librarians at the desk here were happily broadcasting their summer holiday plans to the entire room. As my old technical teacher used to say: "Cut the chat!".

Ah the memories! I was often in here as a mini human with my gran and it was always a treat…read more It's in a lovely historic building yet is modern and well equipped inside. There are a large selection of books, DVDs, videos, CDs, tapes and magazines. All easily accessible, well organised and extremely tempting. As Gordon has highlighted there are also computer and Internet services which are super handy. Surprisingly, this place is usually relatively quiet which means quick, service and your pick of the place. Ideal for finding a cosy corner to get some work done in peace and quiet. Just as long as the librarians aren't discussing their weekend or holidays...
