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.

Helensburgh Library is situated just outside of the town centre on the western side. It spreads…read moreover two floors, and is actually a very well equipped facility. 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!

I was there again in October (3 weeks ago) and took the photos which accompany this review. It has been greatly updated over the years and now has web-linked computers and other things from the modern age - besides all the up-to-date books of course! The librarian could have been a bit friendlier - that's my only gripe!

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.

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.

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.
