Just another rather glorious Glasgow Public Library building. This is the 1905 former Hutchesontown District Library on McNeil Street. Who wouldn't be inspired to read in a building like this?

I found this in the library today. @megaheid.bsky.social has me hooked from the first chapter. Weekend plans: ignore #stormamy and stay snug at home.

The entrance to Shettleston Library in Glasgow. Opened in 1925 as part of an expansion of Glasgow libraries, it immediately proved very popular, especially with the local children.

Ghost sign for Glasgow's Stirling's Public Library on 54 Miller Street. Established in 1791 using a bequest from Walter Stirling, which included his books and his house at 7 Miller Street, this was one of the first public libraries in the city.

Anyone up for a quick game of guess the Glasgow library from its carpet? 😀

Love the decorations around this pair of windows above the main entrance to Dennistoun Public Library in the East End of Glasgow. Designed by J.R. Rhind, it was built in the early 1900s.
