Libraries

Aside from being a great place to develop a love of reading, Glasgow's libraries are community spaces with loads of activities going on, including Bookbug sessions and craft sessions. There are local libraries close to each of our campuses at Anniesland, Cardonald (temporarily closed) and Langside. Find out more about Glasgow's libraries here.
