It is a very good library, tidy, clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and provide professional services. Each floor has different partitions. You can freely choose a suitable seat to read books, or use your own receptor computer. There is an area for children to read books , to provide convenience for parents, provide books in various languages, and you can also read books in Chinese. Equipped with a coffee color, it sells a variety of hot drinks, coffee, and simple food, suitable for staying in the library for a day. The location of the library is very ideal, the surrounding is very quiet, not too many cars passing and stopping. In the center of Glasgow, it is very convenient to take the bus, subway or train, and many people come here on foot.

So this place is currently crumbling and in need of immediate maintenance and repair. It is currently on going with repairs but otherwise this buildings a must visit for all. Excellent wheel chair access. Toilets galore. Update as of 16 july 2020 the place is still crumbling and all works came to a halt with corona. Hopefully will re open soon Fingers crossed

Large library with excellent study area with individual desks and wifi. The library is huge with lots of friendly staff to point in the right direction. Cafe inside as well.

Located in a quiet area in the center of Glasgow, it's easily accessible by bus, subway, train, or on foot.

During my bus tour the guide mentioned that this library has a lot of resources for Scotland family history. I walked over after my tour and went up to the 5th floor where the family history section is located. A friendly staff member helped me log into a computer and begin a search using several databases. If you’re looking for family history this is a great place to start.

Amazing building, huge collection of titles, quiet study areas and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

This place closes at 5:00 pm. I was informed by a member of staff 10 minutes prior to closing that the library was closing. I decided to wait about 5 minutes before heading out as their website says they close at 5 so I did not feel the need to rush. Literally seconds after the first staff member had said about closing, I heard someone with a big booming voice repeating several times in quick concession, "Excuse me, can you move outside!?" There really was no need for that attitude from this person as I was planning to leave but in my own time and by 5 when the library closes. I appreciate people have been working all day and need to go home to their families or wherever/whatever, but seriously whatever your name is, have some compassion and don't let whatever powers you think you may have because of your job go to your head. We all deserve to be treated with some compassion and respect. You are no better than me because of who you are or what you do, and I do not appreciate you watching me in a menacing and bullying manner from your platform above to make sure I left the building. Also, you most definitely do not intimidate me and that is why I chose to speak up for myself. Please think about your attitude and chill out. GOD LOVES YOU. Go on, put a smile on your face and enjoy God's blessings.

The Mitchell Library is an insanely beautiful building that I would recommend visiting simply just to see its architecture. The library itself is huge, with various floors and different literature sections as well as the records archives in the lower section. It has big open areas to read/chill/study, and it has a cafe as well as toilets. Everyone who works here has been incredibly friendly and supportive whenever I have approached them. It's well worth your time.

Wonderful place to research your family history. The staff are always so helpful and kind.

Really great place to fulfill your desire of books. Thumbs up.🥰

Beautiful library, although when I was last there two junkies started fighting by the computers and one hit the other with a bottle of Buckie. Other than that a nice peaceful place to visit.

Excellent library. Lots of resources. Hire rooms to study or practice music. Piano in room. Family tree research. Lots of other archived material. Good cafe.

We had a meeting at the library this morning to see the collection that the librarians had put together with great skill and care. The items were related to Glasgow history, Greek Thomson, and Tenement House.

I visited the library on a weekday morning at 9am. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I needed to use the scanner with documents slightly bigger than A4 and the staff member couldn't have been more helpful. After quickly issuing me with a library card, she set me up onto one of the computers and showed me how to do everything. Computers and scanners are free to use. I had a lot to get through and the staff were so patient. I will definitely be back.

This is my happy place: great light and airy cafe with good coffee and gf options; good reading and working spaces, quiet upstairs; staff upstairs and in the cafe are friendly and welcoming. It's a totally brilliant space and it's easy to get to from Charing Cross Station. The only reason I've not given 5 stars is it can be difficult to get a power socket to plug into.

Great place, been going semi regularly this year. It can get busy on Saturdays, lively place with people of all ages. Love to see small events and people meeting there. Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I’ve never seen some of the floors open, which frankly sad. Would love increased hours on Saturday and possibly Sunday (or at least drop boxes for returns!!).

Large number of holdings, very helpful knowledgeable librarians. A good place to discover genealogy.

Really interesting place to visit. The older part of the library is closed to the public because of the need for refurbishment. (2022). The more modern part of the building is less architecturally interesting but the contents / books etc is fascinating.
