The entrance to the former Springburn Public Library. It was designed by William B. Whitie in an Edwardian Baroque style and was opened in 1904.

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?

The beautifully stylish Elderpark Library on the Southside of Glasgow. Paid for by Isabella Elder and designed by John James Burnet, it was by Andrew Carnegie in 1903.

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.

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.

On old sticker on a lamp post at Glasgow Green. I have no idea why it is there, but this is a slogan which has, over the years, been used in a variety of forms to highlight the importance of education, reading and gaining knowledge.

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.
