Glasgow Libraries aim to develop our Gaelic collections to support the reading and learning needs of both native Gaelic speakers and learners across the city.

Fact books help children learn about the world, and can also encourage reluctant readers to read about their favourite things. From animals and science to history and sport, there really is a fantastic range to choose from.

We have great resources full of easy to read information and facts to help with your homework and projects.

Short stories and chapter books are ideal for children just starting to read and for those moving on to reading by themselves.

Picture books are wonderful for sharing and a sure fire way to get young children hooked on the reading habit. Lots of fabulous pictures and a great story make for a winning combination.

Confident readers can choose from our huge selection of storybooks; look out for award winning authors, classic well-loved stories that can still enthral readers today, and many, many more.
