Library needs an improved layout.

As someone who often uses this library and has difficulty walking, climbing the stairs would be quite challenging for me. I find myself in need of better access to get inside. Therefore, I believe it would be beneficial to change the access and provide a more inclusive entrance that accommodates those with mobility issues. The library staff is really helpful, kind, and knowledgeable, with excellent listening skills. They are always available to provide assistance when I need them. The library is insufficient in addressing specific topics of interest, and it would be beneficial to expand its collection to include more diverse themes. Nevertheless, it is possible to make online reservations for books from other libraries.

Disabled Access Information Provided by Couper Institute

Disabled Access at Couper Institute

There are significant accessibility limitations to Couper Institute, due to the building’s design and age. There is an access ramp at the front of the building and an internal buzzer to enable access and assistance from staff. If required, hall staff will quickly set up temporary ramps and assist with access to the level of the Main Hall and Auchincloss Room. The Craighead Suite, Lesser Hall and Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 are sited at first floor or basement level, meaning that these rooms are unsuited to wheelchair access. Due to these limitations, Glasgow Life encourages prearrangement where possible to enable best placing of lets with regard to access issues.
