Refurbished Partick Library to reopen to the public today

Partick Library is to reopen its doors to the public this week after a major refurbishment.

The C-listed building on Dumbarton Road have been closed for nearly a year while the £1.5 million works took place, beginning in December 2018.

Before its temporary closure, the library had more than 2500 visits each week, issuing more than 1500 books a week.

The building's new lease of life comes as part of Glasgow City Council's Community Asset Fund investment of £10 million into community buildings across the city, with some additional funding from the Community Revenue Fund.

Before its revamp, the library had not been renovated since the 1960s and was in need of repair.
