Access at Glasgow Zine Library

A Text-only version of the Access Guide can be viewed here

We want to make sure our Library and programme are as accessible as possible to all.

All spaces in the Library are wheelchair accessible, with ground floor access and all rooms on one level. There is an accessible and gender neutral toilet, with baby changing facilities, available to the public. Our accessible toilet is fitted with a toilet alarm.

The library space provides tea, coffee, water, a variety of lighting and seating options, dyslexia reading aids, toys for children, and comfort provisions like soft cushioning, hot water bottles, blankets and space heaters. We understand that people spending time in the library might need to rest for a number of reasons; if you need to lie down on any of our benches or recline in one of our chairs, please feel free to do so. Our staff will do what we can to make you more comfortable.

All service dogs, and dogs in general, are welcome as long as they are on a lead.

There is free parking on the street outside the Library, but unfortunately there isn’t a specific reserved space for visitors with mobility issues. Please note that Queens Park train station is currently not wheelchair accessible. The closest wheelchair accessible station is Mount Florida Station, which is about 0.7 mile (1.1 km) from the Library. There is level access from nearby bus stops on Victoria Road.

We run a full programme of events and activities around the year which means the library can be busy at times. On any day that the library is open there will be a dedicated quiet space. Stim toys are also provided. If you are looking for a quieter day, we suggest getting in touch before visiting if you’d like to know if there’s anything on that day.

All GZL activities will adhere to our safer spaces policy, which you can learn about by visiting this link.
