Kilbirnie's library is split into two sections when you walk in the door, so it's pretty easy to…read moreeither navigate yourself to the wide variety of kids books or direct yourself to the adult section. It's reasonably sized but incredibly stocked for the space they have available to them! When you walk in the door you're hit with a revolving bookcase full of Mills and Boon (guilty pleasure....ask me no quesitons), crime fiction and popular books. They also have a healthy selection of gardening books, cookery books and a bookshelf dedicated to recent book-turned-film adaptations. Speaking of movies, they not only have a spattering of videos left for those with VHS, but a good collection of DVD's - cheaper than the DVD rental store, but you didn't hear it from me... What impressed me the most, however, was an exciting collection of Western books with quite possibly the most animated covers I've ever seen. That, above all else, will get me going back, but on a broader scale there's a little something for everyone in here. Good choices for light reading, an audio book and music CD choice and exciting books for kids - with the additional community evenings they host this library's a good meeting place for Kilbirnie's culture vultures.

A rather small but very pleasant little library inside the beautiful Dick Institute with a good…read morerange of books for the space allowed and friendly, helpful staff. Everything is neat and tidy and the cases of books have large signs above stating 'fiction', 'non-fiction' etc. It would be helpful if sub-categories could be added sometime, ie 'biographies', 'local interest' and so on, as it would save a lot of browsing time for new library members. Adult members can borrow up to 8 books, 4 DVDs, 2 videos, 6 talking books and 4 magazines. The magazines are on a wide range of subjects as well, both current magazines and back issues. Membership is free and it's very easy to join provided you have some identification with you. There are old library books for sale and there are a few chairs and tables dotted about, plus at least one (free) computer point. Across the hallway there is a very good music library. There are audio books available in tape, CD and MP3 format. A charge is normally made for these but concessions are available. There's an additional reference library but I haven't used that myself yet. Easy to walk to from the town centre and will take about 10 minutes via The Burns Mall and past The Palace Theatre.

Giffnock library is a fantastic little local library, it isn't huge but it still has a good…read moreselection of books, computers, scanners and various other library resources. My local library is Clarkston library but often if they don't have something then Giffnock will have so I take a little trip down to collect my book. It's really handy as Clarkston library is right next to Clarkston train station, so I can hop onto the train and get off at the next stop three minutes along the road which is Giffnock. Even more handy is the fact that Giffnock library is right next to the station too, so minimal walking effort required, fabulous! I don't use this library so much now but I used to all the time when I was younger as I was a total book worm. I still am a book worm but tend to use Amazon most of the time when I need a book. The staff are always super helpful and can give you great recommendations if like me, you struggle to pick a good book and after reading a couple of pages give up as you're bored stiff.
