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.

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.

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.

The range of books is good and they should have something for everyone: they even have books in foreign languages for both children and adults. They have a good children's section and a small reference section. Although it is quite small, I would definitely say it is worth a look, especially as you live nearby. All you need to become a member and have access to all the Glasgow libraries, is proof of ID and address.

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!".
