Glasgow Libraries have a rich heritage of delivering library services within library buildings, old and new, in diverse communities across the city. This year a number of our historic libraries celebrate special anniversaries, which we will commemorate with exciting events in these beautiful buildings.
Since opening on the 20th of February 1925, Shettleston Library has been a much loved part of the local community. Over the past 100 years the library has offered books, classes, groups, study space, pcs, a warm welcoming place and more for people of all ages.
As part our centenary celebrations, we are delighted to welcome one of the librarians from The Mitchell Library for a FREE introductory session on library resources for family history.
Starting out on your family history journey can be daunting, but we can help.
Find out about electoral registers, monumental inscriptions, census, Ancestry, Find my Past, Post Office directories, the Glasgow Collection, and our extensive newspaper collection.
Please call 0141 276 1643 or email Shettleston.LIL@glasgowlife.org.uk to book a space.
