This summer Glasgow Libraries are teaming up with the UCI Cycling World Championships to celebrate sport and the city with a series of 10 free city-wide author events and creative writing workshops discussing fiction and non-fiction sporting stories.
As part of this events programme we are delighted to welcome legendary Scottish sports commentator Archie Macpherson to the Mitchell Library to discuss his fascinating new book.
