Dennistoun Library

Great community library; 6 public PCs which are free to use and a huge selection of books. There was a lovely photographic exhibition in the hallway of the library today, featuring Glasgow landmarks taken by local people. There was also adverts for local events, including the digital camera club. There is a big Macmillan centre within the library and a selection of wellbeing books. I would have liked wifi, and perhaps more areas to use my own laptop ideally, but there are of comfy seats for curling up with a good book!

This cosy little library situated just off Duke Street, is the perfect place to while away the day with your nose in a book. At the centre of the Dennistoun community, it provides a place lose yourself in a really good book, or marvel at their quite impressive selection of CDs that are available to rent.
When I recently received a huge reading list from my university, there was no chance I’d be able to buy them all, if any! So I took a wee walk to my local library with my list in hand, wondering if they might be able to point me in the right direction. The friendly girl behind the desk took my list and searched the library catalogue for each of the books I had on my list, managing to find a couple that were held at other libraries and she happily ordered them in for me. The service provided here is second to none, as I found out when I received a pleasant phone call informing me that my book had arrived and was ready for collection.
Dennistoun Library is a great place, that locals should take more advantage of. They have an extensive list of interesting books, with something for everyone, and they are more than happy to order items from other libraries for you. They provide free Internet access and rent out the latest CDs and DVDs for just £1 a time.
This place is ideal for everyone from young kids attending their reading clubs, to students making use of the study room and older folks simply enjoying a read of the paper on one of the comfy sofas.

Dennistoun Library is a wonderful wee place. Like other Glasgow council-​operated libraries it has IT stations for surfing the internet and a good online system for checking availability and reserving books.
Though it’s fairly small they have a great selection and the staff on hand are brilliant.
Although this isn’t my local I do love it. I reserve a lot of books through the system and the ones I can’t get at Baillieston tend to be picked from Dennistoun and sent to Baillieston for me. Love it!

I just love libraries.
I’m a natural born geek, and being in a library just makes me happy. This library is one of the nicest. It’s small — not too small — and in an imposing old building.
There are about 10 computers with free internet access for members, and although normally busy, they are handy for when your crappy «high-​speed mobile broadband» isn’t working (which is ALWAYS!!!)
The staff are well informed and just love to help. I have about 4 leaflets detailing the opening hours, thrust at me by smiling librarians.
It’s a good place to study as well when you can’t be arsed travelling any further.
