Consultation has concluded

The Libraries and Community Services team are looking at ways to increase the access that the community have to Helensburgh Library.

We've heard that you would like to be able to visit the library at times more convenient to you and now we are looking at how we can make that happen. We are proposing changes to the opening hours of Helensburgh Library, and also thinking about different ways that the community may be able to access the library after hours.

What will change?

The changes are as follows:

  • The library will open at 9:30am Monday - Saturday.
  • The library will remain open across the lunch break (1-2pm) each week day.
  • The library will close at 5pm on all weekdays.
  • The library will remain closed on Sundays.

There is a small increase in opening hours across the week. You can compare the current opening hours with the proposed opening hours in this table:

    18 Dec 2022

    Earlier this year, we asked our community about when they would like to visit Helensburgh Library.

    Thanks to our community’s feedback, we’re extending opening hours so more people can visit the library at the times they want to go.

    From Tuesday 3 January, new opening hours means that the we'll be providing an extra 2.5 hours of service to the community each work.

    We also heard that residents are interested in access to the library outside of regular opening times. We'll start exploring technology and processes that may be required for us to trial this and should have more details in coming months. Read more here(External link).
