One year of Paisley Central Library

More than 115,000 visits have been made to the award-winning High Street venue, with almost 46,000 books borrowed, since it opened on November 30th last year.

Almost 300 events have also taken place there, ranging from children’s storytelling sessions and talks by authors to technology tutorials to open new opportunities.

The £7m Paisley Learning and Cultural Hub, which houses the library and is operated by charitable trust OneRen, was created as part of Renfrewshire Council’s landmark investment programme in the town’s cultural venues.

It opened a new chapter in a formerly empty High Street building, giving people another reason to visit. The building features state-of-the-art facilities, an extensive collection of books and dynamic digital resources, embracing its mission to blend tradition with modernity.
