A £2 million library upgrade project is set to begin in East Dunbartonshire.

Construction work to improve Bishopbriggs Library will start in June. The refurbishment involves improving the current accommodation and enhancing facilities.

Once finished, a new Community Hub at the Library will bring together Council, library, leisure and cultural services in a single building. Features will include a multi-purpose room for children's activities and reading groups, private rooms for confidential business and an enhanced heritage space which will incorporate the Thomas Muir Museum.

The project is set to be completed by December 2017.

Thomas Glen, Depute Chief Executive - Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets, said: "The start of this project is great news for Bishopbriggs and represents further investment by the Council in assets and services for the local community.

"We recognise and apologise for any inconvenience this work may cause and we have worked hard to minimise the disruption to people in Bishopbriggs."
