Pollokshields Library is in Leslie Street, central Pollokshields, Glasgow. The plans were prepared by Thomas Gilmour under the supervision of City Engineer and Surveyor, Alexander B. McDonald.[1] The library was officially opened on 20 February 1907 by Sir John Stirling Maxwell.[2] The Edwardian Baroque building is protected as a category B listed building.[3]
The area is home to many New Scots, consisting mainly of Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Indian residents. The library holds a good stock of books and magazines in Urdu, as well as English.
Regular events are held at the library, including talks by authors, children's activities and reading challenges.
