    Emily Wilson, Glasgow Library Director|Sep 24, 2014

    Just a quick note to end a very quick tenure here at the Glasgow City-County Library. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you at the Glasgow City-County Library.

  • With No Video Stores In Glasgow, The Library Steps In

    Emily Wilson, Glasgow Library Director|Sep 17, 2014

    The Glasgow City-County Library is constantly looking for ways to improve and expand our service. Recently, we have been evaluating expanding our interlibrary loan services to include items previously offered on a limited basis. Interlibrary loan allows us to access items in libraries across the continental United States to lend to our patrons. As always, we have to balance services with our funding and make hard decisions on how to use your monies to the best benefit of the entire community. Next week, we will be expanding the ability for...

    Emily Wilson, Glasgow Library Director|Aug 20, 2014

    Our summer reading program drew to a close with a celebration of everyone's accomplishments. There was drink, cake, snacks and prizes.

Please plan to join us for Tuesday Tech Nite on July 29. Our host, Brian Gregory, will be here to answer your “how do I?” to “what should I do when?” questions. We...

  • Time Of Change At Our Library

    Emily Wilson, Glasgow Library Director|Jul 2, 2014

    The Glasgow City-County Library is happy to announce that we are on track to have a new look by the end of July. Our new look will include both interior and exterior updates in specific areas of the library. While we are under transformation, we will be challenged to stay up and running while clearing out the entire children’s area and circulation area. Quite frankly, there will be a few days where we just cannot maintain safety of our patrons and our doors will have to be closed. Most days we will be open. However, some items – books,...
