Love of my life, this library system, I'm telling you!…read more Bailileston Library is located on Baillieston main street, right across fromt he Post Office, so it's always doubly handy. They have a small car park, which is a lifesaver most days as the main street can be terribly busy. Everything here was completely refurbished over the past few months, and is now gleaming like never before. A good half of the library is dedicated to children's books, as it always has been, which is amazing. They also have about 8 or 10 computer stations for internet access, some media (CDs, etc.) and a nice selection. IF there is anything you can't find you can look it up on the website and they will have it sent from another library to Baillieston for you to pick up. The staff are brilliant, super friendly and accommodating. They also call you up when your reservations have arrived. They have a book club and some other author events, and will direct you to other events in the Glasgow area. Top notch!

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.

I joined the Mitchell Library last week (photo ID and a utility bill will do the trick) and look…read moreforward to availing of their PCs for free internet access, and maybe downloading a few ebooks to my tablet/ereader. I rather fancied some of the nicely presented salads and sandwiches coming out of the Mitchell's cafe, but as it wasn't lunch o'clock I didn't bite. Last year I attended a talk by AC Grayling in the comfortable and perfectly formed lecture theatre (part of the Aye Write Festival I think), and more recently was blown away by the George Wyllie Retrospective. The world could do with more George Wyllies! His sculptures, installations, art and poetry are enough to make a career curmudgeon smile. I think the exhibition is running for a few more months yet. Go there! If you have just half an hour to spare, do step into the permanent puppet exhibition to the right of the main reception desk. Some of those puppets are over a thousand years old and hail from all corners of the world. They don't seem to mind if you want to snap away and take photos. Would definitely recommend a visit to the Mitchell Library. Oh, and they have lots of books too.

I was here today (25/06) for the Scotch Whisky Association's exhibition, which was first class. Detail on the making of and maturation of Scotland's various whiskies as well as the history of branding, advertising and marketing of the sweet stuff. Highly recommended AND it's free!

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.

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...

The staff were friendly and helpful and I shall go back there again the next time I'm staying in Largs. There's a large free car park at the back of the building. Opening times: 9.00-7.30 every day except Wed when it's 9.30-12.30 and Sat 10.00-5.00
