Save Maryhill Library

We welcome news of funding to get our Library open again, but questions still need to be answered, so our campaign won't be going away. However we now have something to celebrate at our read-in on Saturday, please join us! fb.me/e/1cxj3cFS6

After the worst night since the first night home from the hospital, I’ve taken us to Maryhill Library. The refurbished floor is beautiful, I’ve got a bunch of new books, and I’ve got some peace. Libraries are a sanctuary, thanks @SaveMaryhill.

Thank you Scott!

Isn’t she just magnificent! 🤌 I struggle to understand how anyone would want to see this brilliant place become a ruin. @SaveMaryhill have done our city a mighty service 📚

We can’t wait to see it!

Yay Maryhill!

Who said people power changes nothing! Our Library is finally open again from this Monday!

We are grateful to the thousands who supported our campaign and will continue to fight until the long-term future of our library in its historic Carnegie building home is safeguarded. Please join us at our final outdoor read-in this Saturday to celebrate this community victory.

We welcome the announcement that Maryhill Library’s doors will open once again to the community from Monday 24th January. We’ve campaigned tirelessly for this since last May when at the height of a pandemic it was attempted to make it that our library would never open again 1/2

Beyond relieved and pretty delighted that the hard work and grit of @SaveMaryhill campaigners has finally paid off but this cannot just be a quick fix or cover until just after the council elections. The fight for the future of our libraries must go on. glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/find…

Success for @SaveWhiteinch, @SaveMaryhill, @CouperSave and @SaveGlasgowLibs beckons! glasgowlife.org.uk/news/glasgow-l…

At last! Great result for the fantastic community library campaigns around Glasgow - determined not to let their libraries slip away quietly. Special shout out to the read-in read-out @SaveMaryhill group.

Second read-in of 2022 this morning. Still no further forward on a date for reopening in January despite several promises from @glasgowlife and @GlasgowCC. Just not good enough!
