This Is My GlasgowAn 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.
The Govan Coat of Arms on the facade of J.J. Burnet's 1903 Elderpark Library on the Southside of Glasgow. I love this wat this seems to have been carved in pieces and then assembled in its final location.

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.

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

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