Giffnock Library

I’m doing a review for the last time I was in here a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the train, and I needed to use a toilet, I was almost in tears needing to go, as I missed train and had to wait for another. They kindly directed me to their toilets to use. I never seen much of the library as I was there for one thing. But it looked a very clean looking place inside of what I seen. And thank you to the lady who let me use it. Thanks xxxxxx I believe in good karma:)

Giffnock library is a fantastic little local library, it isn’t huge but it still has a good selection of books, computers, scanners and various other library resources. My local library is Clarkston library but often if they don’t have something then Giffnock will have so I take a little trip down to collect my book. It’s really handy as Clarkston library is right next to Clarkston train station, so I can hop onto the train and get off at the next stop three minutes along the road which is Giffnock. Even more handy is the fact that Giffnock library is right next to the station too, so minimal walking effort required, fabulous!
I don’t use this library so much now but I used to all the time when I was younger as I was a total book worm. I still am a book worm but tend to use Amazon most of the time when I need a book.
The staff are always super helpful and can give you great recommendations if like me, you struggle to pick a good book and after reading a couple of pages give up as you’re bored stiff.

This library is located right next to Giffnock Train station and is easy to miss if you don’t go looking for it. It is easiest to park at the train station and walk round the corner to the library if you are driving. As part of the East Renfrewshire libraries, stock is similar to what is available elsewhere. Joining is free for local residents, with the added bonus that you can also withdraw books from any other East Renfrewshire libraries. It’s quite easy to search the catalogue for books yourself using the computers available, alternatively the staff are always happy to help.
