Hillhead Library Opens its New Front Doors on April 16

It's hard not to notice the plywood tent set up on Byers Road with ominous sounds of drilling and hammering emanating from its chambers. The reason being the much-loved and much-used Hillhead Library is undergoing a construction project to make its front entranceway more wheelchair and pushchair accessible. The new front doors are scheduled to be completed on April 16. Meanwhile, patrons can still use the library by using the back entranceway. Library employees, on call in their little, chilly back office, are always on hand to give assistance, even carrying pushchairs up two flights of stairs, as I can personally attest to.

James Doherty, spokesperson for Culture and Sport, promises "great improvement" to make the library universally accessible.
