Central Library

Central Library gives you a warm nostalgic sort of feeling. The interior hasn’t really been updated since as far back as I remember, except the cassettes were replaced by CDs years back. Oh and they have computers and everything now too: P
The book selection is extensive and caters well to the town. Some sections could be doing with an upgrade though, particularly IT and business, sports and English literature (good selection but old copies).
Staff are generally friendly (again helps when a mate works there). They run Saturday book bug every fortnight for babies-​young kids for free and have various other workshops for folks of all ages.
Best times to avoid are lunch times and immediately after 5pm during school term time. Pupils can get quite noisy and staff aren’t as strict as they should be.
E-​books are also available now to rent online from the South Lanarkshire Leisure website as the library tries to keep up.
Every town needs its library and folks’ support.
