Book Swap Glasgow – Library in a garden

This little gem was added during the lockdown when the Glasgow community in the Dennistoun neighbourhood started some swap book libraries around the area. The very first one was on a bench outside Alexandra Park.

However, we all know how temperamental the weather is in Glasgow and the books needed a better and drier home. This little Book Swap Library was built as a lockdown project, it's located in the East End of the city and I always pop by to see what the latest additions to the collection are. The concept is simple: Leave one, Take one. It's free of charge and you can leave and take as many books as you wish, but bear in mind that it's a small library!

It's a really nice initiative and a great addition to the local area. If you're a local and need some budget-friendly new books make sure to pop by. If you are visiting Glasgow and you happen to finish a book at the same time, pop by, swap your old book for a new one and go enjoy it at a nearby park.

If the little library is not a good enough reason to stop by these gardens, I should also mention that there are many dogs being walked here every day!
