Couper Institute Library

Another great public library in Glasgow, in a beautiful building with a good range of opening hours and completely free services! Excellent.
Indeed, Glasgow has a wide range of libraries that are fairly well equipped. This meaning, as M.K. has mentioned, their stock — book wise — can be a little on the dated side and slightly limited. In saying this, if your desired book is in another Glasgow library somewhere else you can easily fill out a request, be informed how long your wait may be and pick it/​them up at your local library.
Meanwhile, there’s a good range of magazines, dvds, cds and videos that you can flip through before popping onto one of their computers. These allow you to surf the worldwide web, type up any important emails/​letters, shop and also print/​photocopy and even — I believe — now scan documents.
Everything you could need in an easily accessible place and all either free (or for a marginal fee e.g. printing and photocopying). This particular library is really local, handy and has a lovely, quiet and relaxed vibe to it. Perfect.
