Official opening of Elder Park Library and Community Hub

On Wednesday (18 September), we welcomed community group representatives, schoolchildren, teachers and local councillors to the official opening of Elder Park Library and Community Hub.

The individuals and groups using the refurbished facility, say they are impressed with its new look and welcoming feel.

The first visitors returned to the popular library on Monday 24 June 2024, following a £4 million refurbishment.

In partnership with Elderpark Housing Association, significant improvements were made to the A-listed building to make it more accessible and sustainable and ensure it best meets the needs of the local community. The internal and external work upgraded the library and community spaces. It also created a new community kitchen and more bookable areas for people to use, as well as extra library toilets and improved baby changing facilities.

Impact Arts is among the organisations making use of the new-look facility. The creative arts organisation helps to transform lives through creative activities, building people's confidence and empowering them to achieve their potential. Environmental charity Urban Roots also holds community-focused activities at Elder Park Library and Community Hub. Glasgow Eagles Sports Club is also using Elder Park Library and Community Hub's new facilities to offer sports activities for people with disabilities, including table tennis and boccia.
