Langside Library in Glasgow.
Designed by George Simpson in the Edwardian Baroque Style, it opened in 1915, making it the last of the Carnegie Libraries in Glasgow.
It was also the first library in the city specifically designed to be open access, meaning people were free to browse the shelves rather than having to request specific books at a counter.

There are some amazing little details on Glasgow buildings. This example is of oak branches on the doorway of Whiteinch Public Library. I'm presuming this is a reference to public libraries providing the acorns of knowledge from which the mighty oak trees that create our society grow.
