Glasgow City
Council’s information department offer a comprehensive
information service for the community, meeting the needs
of students, businesses, visitors and local people. Among other things it provides a city wide network of community libraries, cutting edge Real Learning Centres, a mobile library service and the world renowned Mitchell Library. Situated on North Street in the heart of the city, The Mitchell [map] is Glasgow’s main library and offers a range of information and enquiry services. You can use the collections at the Mitchell whether or not you live in Glasgow and you don’t need to be a member of Glasgow City Libraries Service to do so. Along with thousands of books, journals, CDs and tapes, this library also houses the archives of Glasgow City Council and its predecessor authorities. For those who would like to surf the Net, research their family history or perhaps learn how to use a spreadsheet, the council has set up a number of Real Learning Centres within Glasgow’s community libraries. These centres provide free access to state-of-the-art computers, and offer vocational and leisure based learning opportunities, including hands on workshops and online courses. To make the most of the resources available at Glasgow’s community libraries you will have to be a member, and anyone who lives, works or studies in Glasgow can join the service. All you need to do is pop into your nearest library with two types of identification, such as a rent book, driving licence or passport, and fill in the application form. However if you are only visiting the city you can still borrow from any of the libraries by exchanging your local library card for a Glasgow card for the duration of your stay. To do this you will need to take two forms of identification with you. For more information on Glasgow’s library service visit the council website at www.glasgow.gov.uk. |
