That’s our last meeting before the summer break done! Thanks to everyone who’s helped make our first year back so brilliant: see you at our birthday event on 19th August at Cathcart Baptist Church!
No need to book - head to the Couper on 23Nov, 6.30pm to meet two of Scotland’s well known crime writers, Gordon Brown and Douglas Skelton. Hear about their new titles and also have an opportunity to ask some questions.

Nice to see the steps at the Couper getting a bit of tlc 🥰
Don't forget to take part in the @glasgowlife consultation on the draft refresh of the Vision for Glasgow Libraries - pick up a leaflet in the library or visit glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries…
Great news!
Delighted to hear that the Couper Institute is fully reopening on 14 November. A well-used community asset before the pandemic, people have been regularly asking when it is likely to reopen and I reflected this in my full council speech in September.

Our brilliant Couper staff always do such a great job of decorating for special occasions. Looking very spooky!! @GlasgowLib
We are so sorry to hear of Baillie Malcolm Cunning’s death. He was a great supporter of the Save the Couper campaign, turning up for the weekly read-in all weathers and regularly raising questions in council. We are deeply grateful for his service and are thinking of his family.
Library book groups are back!
@GlasgowLib September newsletter includes this note on the return of #bookgroups - email to find out more.

We’re just popping up to say our fabulous campaigner Mhairi was on the news talking about #savethecouper as part of a piece on local elections. Regular read-in attendees may spot themselves in the pics! Thanks @BBCJamesCook for talking to us. (21 mins in) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Great to be back inside at the Couper Institute Library rather than outside @CouperSave read-in on these recent very wet Saturday mornings. #SaveGlasgowLibraries
Our reflections on what we learned when we set out to save a library. TL/DR: our community is great, some of our political representatives not so much. medium.com/@savethecouper/wh…
Thanks for the article highlighting our campaign and lovely library @Glasgow_Live
