We are working to keep the NHSGGC libraries safe in line with Board and government guidance. This includes social distancing, and provision of wipes and hand sanitiser. Libraries are being staffed with reduced numbers to maintain social distancing, with the rest of the team working from home. This is being kept under review.
Most of the libraries provide out of hours access. You tend to need either a swipe ID badge or a door keypad code.
If you have any queries about accessing any the libraries please email Library.Network@ggc.scot.nhs.uk

The Resource Room is on the ground floor in the management corridor (formerly Yorkhill Hospital library). The door has a keypad.
