Lenzie Union Parish Church is a very important place for the Lenzie community. As well as offering…read moreall the normal Church services - it also has two large community halls that house the activities of many local groups. These two halls - known as the Old Hall and the New Hall for obvious reasons - are home to events as diverse as Mother & Toddler groups, coffee mornings, school lunch clubs and charity fundraising events. Both halls are equipped by kitchens and toilets, although the facilities in the New Hall are a lot bigger. The New Hall also has a stage. In the foyer of the New Hall you will find a community noticeboard with posters detailing almost every event that is taking place in Lenzie. Although there is a small car park at the Church - most visitors park in a neighbouring side road.

One of my regular library haunts which has a good selection of books as well as cds/dvds, the free…read morecomputers to use (if you have a library card), a cafe and a variety of groups meet here inc book & writers groups. 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.

A good library in Motherwell, on Hamilton Road where express buses run from town…read more It's got a good selection of DVD's including boxed sets, CD's and of course books; including talking books. There's a decent geneology section and alot of foreign language books in addition to packs for learning other languages. They also have a constant supply of books for sale which have worn spines and other minor damages. There's a decent coffee shop in here and there's usually workshops with kids on the go. It closes at 12:30 on Wednesday, which I have conveniently forgot many times. Try and not make the same mistake.

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.

Apart from their selection of books,CDs & DVDs being better than before they're doing more such as an afternoon craft programme for young children & a teenage chill time. There are a bank of PCs which are free and I believe MacMillan also come in. The only downside is no comfortable seating to make me want to come and stay a while. Maybe there's a reason for that but with only hard chairs & small study desks I didn't spend as long there as I would have liked.

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.

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!
